Welcome to OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse

The OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse is a centralized repository that stores data from multiple OnCommand Insight servers and transforms data into a common, multidimensional data model for querying and analysis. The OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse enables access to an open database consisting of several data marts that let you generate custom capacity and performance reports such as chargeback reports, trending reports with historical data, consumption analyses, and forecasting reports.

Data Warehouse features The OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse is an independent database made up of several data marts. Data Warehouse includes the following features: • Current and historical configuration and inventory data that enables you to create trending reports useful for forecasting and planning. • Several multi-dimensional historical data marts and an additional current-only inventory data mart. • An optimized database for predefined queries or user-defined queries. • A platform for integration with third-party reporting and business intelligence engines, including: • Configuration management databases • Financial accounting systems • Asset management systems

Data Warehouse components Data Warehouse contains several components. • Data Warehouse Portal • OnCommand Insight Reporting Portal • Report authoring tools

OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Portal The Data Warehouse Portal is a web-based user interface that you use to configure options and set up fixed schedules to retrieve data. From the Data Warehouse Portal, you can also access the OnCommand Insight reporting portal. Using Data Warehouse, you can do the following: Welcome to OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse | 7

OnCommand Insight Reporting Portal You can use the OnCommand Insight Reporting Portal and the OnCommand Insight data model to run or create custom reports. You can generate reports in various formats, including HTML, PDF, CSV, and Excel. OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse accommodates multiple tenancy in reporting by allowing you to associate users with business units. With this feature, administrators can separate data or reports according to the attributes of a user or his affiliation. To see reports and dashboards that can be configured through the OnCommand Insight Reporting user interface, see the OnCommand Reporting Guide.

Report authoring tools The OnCommand Insight enterprise reporting data models provide data elements and interactive relationships among data elements that yield business views of the data. Using the data elements and relationships, you can create reports using Query Studio, Report Studio, Business Insight or Business Insight Advanced, which are report generation tools. You can use the following report authoring tools to create reports with OnCommand Insight data models: • With Query Studio, you drag and drop data elements to create customized ad hoc reports that address your business needs. Note: Although the OnCommand Insight documentation provides basic information about creating reports using Query Studio, for details about Query Studio format options, see the Cognos documentation. • With Report Studio, you can create more complex reports with complex filters, prompts, and conditions. You can create very complex reports using the Report Studio tool and OnCommand Insight data. Report Studio is a powerful tool, and its use is beyond the scope of this guide. • With Business Insight, you can create and assemble dashboards and create interactive reports. • With Business Insight Advanced, you can create rich, interactive reports with a tool that has all the functionality of Query Studio, Report Studio Express, and Analysis Studio. Note: For details about using Business Insight Advanced to create a report, see the video on the NetApp Community site: Creating an Adhoc Report video.

Some authoring tools are hidden for use only with advanced views. See information about switching between simple and advanced reporting views.

Data Warehouse software components OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse includes several software components. • MySQL database - backend repository for data mart tables • IBM Cognos - reporting engine for OnCommand Insight Welcome to OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse | 9

• Apache Derby Database - used for storing Cognos configuration and content • JBoss - Java Enterprise application server that hosts OnCommand Insight components • Apache Web Server/Tomcat - web front end and servlet engine for Cognos web interface

Data Warehouse processes Data Warehouse performs many types of processes.

ETL process The Extract Transform and Load (ETL) process retrieves data from multiple OnCommand Insight databases, transforms the data, and saves it into the data mart. The Data Warehouse build process is an ETL process. Jobs Data Warehouse performs and reports on jobs such as these: inventory, dimensions, capacity, port capacity, VM capacity, file system utilization, performance, capacity efficiency, licenses, history build, dynamic annotations, connector removal, skipped build, AutoSupport (ASUP) option, and maintenance jobs. Consolidation Data Warehouse supports the consolidation of multiple OnCommand Insight process servers into the same Data Warehouse database. In many configurations it may happen that the same object is reported from multiple connectors (that is, the same switch exists in two OnCommand Insight instances). In that case, Data Warehouse consolidates the multiple objects into one (a primary connector is chosen and the object’s data is taken from that connector only). Requests sent to By using OnCommand Insight Plan in the OnCommand Insight Client or by Data Warehouse using the Request Portal, storage administrators can initiate requests (for capacity and ports) and reservations (for volumes, capacity, and ports). Note: Only requests for capacity and ports are received from the OnCommand Insight Server and are sent to the Data Warehouse during the ETL process.

The Storage Capacity Planning Report includes a projection of capacity usage which is calculated from capacity requests.

How Data Warehouse extracts data The Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process retrieves data from multiple OnCommand Insight databases, transforms the data, and saves it into the data model. OnCommand Insight connectors invoke a series of batch jobs to extract data from multiple OnCommand Insight mySQL databases and publish the data in various data marts, as shown in the following diagram.

10 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

The ETL process includes these individual processes:

Extract Takes data from multiple OnCommand Insight databases, transforms the data, and saves it into the data model. The process is performed against each OnCommand Insight instance at the same time. To ensure that and deduplication is performed, it is not possible to split the ETL process into multiple scheduled ETL operations. Transform Applies business logic rules or functions to extract the data from the OnCommand Insight database. Load Loads the transformed data into public data models

ETL frequency and date data You should run the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process only once per day. Two date data elements in the Date dimension are related to the daily ETL process. By default, the Cognos reporting engine treats all capacity and performance facts as additive. As a result, there is a risk of double counting capacity data if the ETL process is run multiple times per day without the proper time filters. The Date dimension, which is used in several data models, includes the following data elements that are affected by the ETL:

Is Day The "Is Day Representative" data element is set to a value of 1 (true) during the Representative first ETL process run during any given day. If the first ETL process is run at 1:00 a.m., Is Day Representative is set to 1 for all of the data loaded during the 1:00 a.m. ETL process. If a second ETL is scheduled later (for example, 1:00 p.m.), Is Day Representative is set to 0 (false) for the data loaded during that ETL process. Is Latest The "Is Latest" member is set to a value of 1 (true) after each ETL process completes. If the first ETL process is run at 1:00 a.m., Is Latest is set to 1 for all of the data loaded during the 1:00 a.m. ETL process. If another ETL process is scheduled later (for example, 1:00 p.m.), Is Latest is set to 1 for data loaded Welcome to OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse | 11

during the 1 p.m. ETL process. The ETL process also sets the 1:00 a.m. ETL load's Is Latest entry to 0 (false).

Historical data retention in Data Warehouse Data is maintained in Data Warehouse according to a schedule. Data Warehouse retains historical data based on the data marts and granularity of the data, as shown in the following summary:

Data mart Measured object Granularity Retention period Performance marts Volumes and Internal Hourly 14 days Volumes Performance marts Volumes and Internal Daily 13 months Volumes Performance marts Application Hourly 13 months Performance marts Host Hourly 13 months Performance marts Switch Performance 5 weeks for port Performance marts Switch Performance 13 months for host, storage and tape Capacity marts All (except individual Daily 13 months volumes) Capacity marts All (except individual Monthly representative 14 months and beyond volumes) Inventory mart Individual volumes Current state 1 day (or until next ETL)

In more detail, for capacity, performance, and resource data in the following tables, after 13 months Data Warehouse retains only one record per month instead of one record per day: • Application fact table (dwh_sa.sa_application_fact) • Capacity Efficiency fact table (dwh_capacity_efficiency.efficiency_fact) • Capacity fact table (dwh_capacity.capacity_fact) • Chargeback fact table (dwh_capacity.chargeback_fact) • File System Utilization fact table (dwh_fs_util.fs_util_fact) • Host fact table (dwh_sa.sa_host_fact) • Internal Volume Capacity fact table (dwh_capacity.internal_volume_capacity_fact) 12 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

• Ports fact table (dwh_ports.ports_fact) • Qtree Capacity fact table (dwh_capacity.qtree_capacity_fact) • Storage and Storage Pool Capacity fact table (dwh_capacity.storage_and_storage_pool_capacity_fact) • Volume capacity fact table (dwh_capacity.vm_capacity_fact)

Data retention, ETL, and time periods OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse retains data obtained from the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process for different time periods based on the different data marts and time granularity of the data.

Performance Marts and hourly granularity for volumes and internal volumes The OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse records the hourly averages, hourly maximums and access bit for each hour of the day (twenty-four data points) for 14 days. The access bit is a Boolean value that is true if the volume was accessed or false if the volume was not accessed during the hourly interval. All 24 data points for the preceding day are obtained during the first ETL process of the day. You do not need to run one ETL per hour to gather the hourly data points. Running additional ETLs during the day does not obtain any performance information from the OnCommand Insight Servers.

Performance Marts and daily granularity for volumes and internal volumes Each day when the ETL is processed, the daily averages for the preceding day are calculated and populated within the Data Warehouse. The daily average is a summary of the 24 data points for the previous day. The performance data marts retain daily summaries for volumes and internal volumes for 13 months.

Capacity marts and daily granularity The Capacity marts provide daily measurements for various capacity facts on a daily basis for a period of 13 months. The capacity facts in Data Warehouse are current as of the last data source acquisition for the device prior to the ETL.

Capacity marts and monthly granularity Data Warehouse retains daily capacity data for 13 months. After the 13-month threshold is reached, the capacity data is summarized on a monthly basis. The monthly data is based on the values reflected by the date that is the month representative date. The following table shows which monthly data is included in the monthly summary.

Date Is Month Representative Allocated capacity value Jan 1 1 (True) 50 TB Welcome to OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse | 13

Date Is Month Representative Allocated capacity value Jan 2 0 (False) 52 TB ...... Jan 31 0 (False) 65 TB Feb 1 1 (True) 65 TB

Based on the table, a monthly report would show 50 TB allocated for January and 65 TB allocated for February. All of the other capacity values for January would not be included in the monthly summary.

Inventory mart The Inventory data mart is not historical. Each time an ETL is run, the Inventory mart is erased and rebuilt from scratch. So, any reports generated out of the Inventory mart do not reflect historical inventory configuration.

Accessing the Data Warehouse Portal The OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Portal is a web-based user interface that you can use to update connector information, view job queues, access documentation and schema diagrams, perform , and update builds.

About this task The following is the default user name and password. It is a good idea to change these defaults after installation. • Username: admin • Password: admin123

Steps

1. Open a web browser and enter the following URL: http:///dwh 2. Enter your username and password. 3. Click OK. The Data Warehouse Portal opens.

20 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Accessing MySQL using the command line interface In addition to accessing Data Warehouse data elements through the report authoring tools (such as Query Studio and Report Studio), you can obtain access to Data Warehouse data elements directly by connecting as a MySQL user. You might want to connect as a MySQL user to use the data elements in your own applications.

About this task There are many ways to connect. The following shows one way. When accessing MySQL, consider the following issues: • Connect to the MySQL database on the machine where Data Warehouse is installed. • The MySQL port is “3306” by default; however, you can change it during installation. • The username and password is: dwhuser/netapp123

Steps

1. On the machine where Data Warehouse is installed, open a command line window. 2. Access the MySQL directory in the OnCommand Insight directory. 3. Type the following user name and password: mysql -udwhuser -pnetapp123 The following is displayed, depending on where Data Warehouse is installed:

c:\Program Files\OnCommand Insight\mysql\bin> mysql -udwhuser -pnetapp123

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 882 Server version: 5.1.28-rc-community MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

4. To show the Data Warehouse databases, type the following: show databases The following is displayed:

mysql> show databases; +------+ | Database | +------+ | information_schema | | dwh_capacity | | dwh_capacity_efficiency | | dwh_fs_util | | dwh_inventory | | dwh_performance | Getting started with Data Warehouse | 21

| dwh_ports | +------+

Connecting Data Warehouse to OnCommand Insight servers Connectors establish connections from the OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse to the OnCommand Insight servers. You can connect Data Warehouse with one or more OnCommand Insight servers. You can add or remove connections to or from OnCommand Insight databases.

About this task Data Warehouse assigns a global unique ID to the connector that is used in conjunction with the connector name. After adding a connector, Data Warehouse queries the OnCommand Insight database for the OnCommand Insight site name and version. You can choose to connect to a data source with or without SSL. Choosing the secure data source forces the connection to use SSL when communicating with the OnCommand Insight remote database. Data Warehouse can provide a consolidated view of data from multiple OnCommand Insight installations. This consolidated database provides the following information: • Globally Unique Identifiers: Each object is assigned a globally unique ID that is independent of the IDs used by individual sites, to avoid conflicting IDs and enable duplicate detection. These IDs are shared between all the data marts. This ID is the Globally Unique ID (GUID) in the Comment column of the Inventory data mart tables. • No duplication: Entities that exist in multiple OnCommand Insight databases are registered only once in the consolidated database. • Current record: The data in the consolidated database (Inventory data mart) is always the most up-to-date possible. When you add or edit a connection, you can also test the connection. The test does the following: • Verifies the host IP address, user name, and password and ensures that a connection can be established. Invalid connections appear in red. • Compares the OnCommand Insight version to the Data Warehouse version. If the versions are not compatible, an error message appears. • Verifies that the OnCommand Insight database has not been changed or restored to a different database as seen by the last Data Warehouse processing. If there has been a change, an error message appears.

Steps 1. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Connectors. The Connectors table appears blank at first and shows connector information after you add a connector. 2. Click New to add a new connector. 22 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

3. Enter the following:

Encryption To enable Data Warehouse requests to be made using SSL , select Enabled. Name A connector name that will identify the connector on the Connectors view. Host Host IP address User name "inventory" Note: Using this user name and password, you can log into the remote OnCommand Insight database and perform queries on the data. You should change the default user name and password as soon as possible.

Password "sanscreen"

4. To specify the port to use for TCP connections to the host, click Advanced and enter the TCP port number. 5. To specify the port (other than the default port) to use for HTTPS connections to the host, click Advanced and enter the port number. 6. Click Test. Data Warehouse tests the connection. 7. Click Save. If you enter multiple connections for multiple installations, Data Warehouse invokes independent build processes, one for each database from which data should be extracted. Each such build process extracts data from an OnCommand Insight database and loads it into the consolidated database.

Data Warehouse database build from history overview You can build the Data Warehouse database using historical data in your OnCommand Insight server. Data Warehouse extracts data from the OnCommand Insight servers and builds the Data Warehouse data marts according to the build from history schedule. This option does not require a special license and inventory data is included in the build. However, to build capacity information, the OnCommand Insight Plan and OnCommand Insight Perform licenses are required. If any build (from history or current) has already been performed, the build cannot be done on dates before the last job. This means if you perform a current build, you cannot build from history. More specifically, if you performed builds from history that ended on Jan 1, 2012, you cannot perform any build on the year 2011. If the history build does not include a day or two of any unsuccessful ETL processes, do not try building history for just these few days. Historical data is for longer periods and a day or two is not Getting started with Data Warehouse | 23

going to change trending significantly. If you do want to rebuild from history, rebuild the entire history. The Build from History view displays all build jobs from all connectors. For example, the view might display an inventory job for every connector, a port capacity job for every build run, and an annotations job. Before you configure the Build from History, the following must occur: • Connectors must be configured. • At least one of the connectors must have history information. • Annotations should be entered in OnCommand Insight and updated (from the OnCommand Insight Main Menu, Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for DWH).

Forcing an update of annotations for Data Warehouse You can initiate an update of annotations from OnCommand Insight to Data Warehouse.

About this task You can update annotations using one of two options: • Including deleted objects: This includes data about devices that no longer exist such as hosts, storage arrays, or switches that were removed. This is needed if you want to build Data Warehouse data with historical data points. • Not including deleted objects: Choose this option if you want to exclude deleted objects.

Steps

1. Access the OnCommand Insight Administration web-based portal.

24 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

2. From the OnCommand Insight Main Menu, select Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for DWH (include deleted objects).

Adding a job that builds from history You can build the Data Warehouse database using historical data that is kept in your OnCommand Insight server.

Before you begin Before you build from history, you should update annotations in the OnCommand Insight Client and then force an update of annotation information for Data Warehouse.

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal at http:///dwh. 2. From the Advanced section of the DWH Main Menu, select Build from History.

Getting started with Data Warehouse | 25

3. Click Configure.

4. Enter the start and end times. To display a calendar from which you can select a date, click the down arrow near the month. 26 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

The time format depends upon the locale of the Data Warehouse server. The start and end times must be within the range of history contained in all the OnCommand Insight servers to which Data Warehouse is connected, as set in the Data Warehouse portal Connectors option. The default start and end times reflect the maximum valid period. Note: Configuring a non-realistic schedule such as “Daily for 4 years” results in 1460 build cycles, which could take 10 days to complete.

5. Choose the time at which you want the job to run. This ensures that the Data Warehouse build job runs automatically at the time you specify. 6. Choose the interval. 7. Choose the date during the month or day of the week when the build from history will take place. If you select a monthly or weekly interval, the Day field appears. If you selected monthly, then Day is a date. If you selected weekly, Day is Sunday through Saturday. 8. Choose the hour when the build will take place. 9. Optionally, to return the options to default settings, click Reset. 10. Click Save. 11. From the Build from History page, to perform a build outside of the automatic schedule build, click Run. The Target Time column displays the time that this entry was built. The Status column displays whether the build was completed or failed.

Canceling a build from history job You can cancel all planned jobs. The job status becomes "Aborted."

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal. 2. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Build from History. 3. Click Cancel.

Scheduling daily builds You can set the frequency and the time of the build process, building each Data Warehouse data mart. Data Warehouse performs a build job for each connector and for each data mart. For example, Getting started with Data Warehouse | 27

Data Warehouse performs an inventory job for each connector, then performs a capacity job for each connector.

About this task Whenever the Data Warehouse is being built, it performs an inventory job for every connector. After the inventory jobs are complete, Data Warehouse performs jobs for dimensions, capacity, and the remaining data marts.

Steps

1. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Schedule.

2. Click Edit to add a new schedule.

3. Choose the frequency, for example, daily or weekly. 28 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

4. Choose the time at which you want the job to run. This ensures that the build job runs automatically. 5. To enable the schedule, check Enabled. Note: If you do not check this, the schedule build does not occur.

6. Click Save. 7. From the Schedule page, to build Data Warehouse outside of the automatic scheduled build, click Build Now.

Backing up the Data Warehouse database You can back up the Data Warehouse (DWH) database to a file and later restore it using the Data Warehouse portal. This feature not only backs up your data, but also enables you to migrate to a different Data Warehouse machine or upgrade to a new Data Warehouse version.

About this task Data Warehouse backs up the following information: • LDAP configuration • Data sources • Import and export tasks that imported or exported reports • Reporting security roles, groups, and namespaces • User accounts • Any modified Reporting Connection reports Note: If you want to modify a predesigned report, we recommend that you save the predesigned report with a different name first and modify the copied version so that you do not lose your modifed version when you upgrade or restore the system. • Custom reports, regardless of where they are stored, even the My folders directory. Note: You should save custom reports in one of the OnCommand Insight shipped folders, such as Custom Reports or Custom Dashboards.

The following items are not backed up: • Cognos system configuration parameters, such as SMTP server settings • Cognos custom memory settings In this manual backup, Data Warehouse creates a zip file that contains these files: • A daily backup zip file, which contains Cognos report definitions • A reports backup zip file, which contains all the reports in Cognos (including those in the My Folders directory) • A Data Warehouse database backup file Getting started with Data Warehouse | 29

In addition to a manual backup that you can perform at any time, Data Warehouse creates a daily backup (generated each day to a file called DailyBackup.zip) that includes the report definitions. The daily backup includes the top folders and packages shipped with the product. The My Folders directory and directories that you create outside the product's top folders are not included in the Cognos backup.

Steps

1. To access the Data Warehouse portal, open a Web browser and enter the URL for the OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse:

http:///dwh

2. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Backup/Restore. 3. Do one of the following: • To back up only inventory data and not performance, capacity, port or other data, select Inventory Datamart only. To back up your historical capacity data as well, do not check this option. • To back up all data except performance data, which might require more time and space, select All Datamarts except Performance Datamart. • To back up all data including performance data, select All Datamarts Including Performance Datamart. 4. Click Backup. This operation can take awhile (possibly 30 minutes or more). Data Warehouse creates a backup file and displays its name. 5. Right-click on the backup file and save it to a location you want. Recommendation: You might not want to change the file name; however, you should store the file outside the Data Warehouse installation path.

Backing up custom reports and reporting artifacts If you created custom reports or you made changes to the reports in your current version of the Reporting Connection and you want to upgrade to a newer version, you need to back up your reports and reporting artifacts and restore them after the upgrade installation.

About this task If you made changes to the predesigned reports, the best practice is to create your own copy in a separate folder from the predesigned ones. That way, when you update the predesigned artifacts, you will not overwrite your changes. Two folders exist under each package: 30 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

• CustomerDashboards - Use this to store your dashboards. • CustomerReports - Use this to store your reports. If you have reports in the My Folders area, you should copy them to the CustomerReports folders so that they are not lost. In addition to a manual backup that you can perform at any time, Data Warehouse creates a daily backup (generated each day to a file called DailyBackup.zip) that includes the report definitions. The daily backup includes the top folders, CustomerReports folders, and packages that were shipped with the product. The My Folders directory and directories that you create outside the product's top folders are not included in the Cognos backup.

Restoring the Data Warehouse database When you back up the Data Warehouse database, Data Warehouse creates a .gz file that you can later use to restore that same database.

About this task When you restore the Data Warehouse database, you have the option to restore user account information from the backup as well. User management tables are used by the Data Warehouse report engine in a Data Warehouse only installation.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Backup/Restore. 2. In the Restore section, in the Select File to Restore option, click Browse and locate the .gz file that holds the Data Warehouse backup. 3. If you want to restore reports or user account data also, check one or both of the following: • Restore database: Includes Data Warehouse settings, data marts, connections, schedules, and user account information. • Restore reports: Includes custom reports, predesigned reports, changes to predesigned reports that you made, and reporting settings you made in the Reporting Connection. 4. Click Restore. After the restore process completes, a message appears just below the Restore button. If the restore process is successful, the message indicates success. If the restore process fails, the message indicates the specific exception that occurred to cause the failure. If an exception occurs and the restore fails, the original database is automatically reset.

If you do not, the changes you make in the LDAP configuration will not be saved.

User principal Attribute that identifies each user in the LDAP server (defaults to name attribute userPrincipalName, which is globally unique). OnCommand Insight attempts to match the contents of this attribute with the username that has been supplied. Role attribute LDAP attribute that identifies the user role (defaults to memberOf ). Mail attribute LDAP attribute that identifies the user email address (defaults to mail). This is useful if you want to subscribe to the OnCommand Insight reports available from the OnCommand Insight portal. Note: OnCommand Insight picks up the user email address the first time each user logs in and does not look for it after that. If the email address changes on the LDAP server, make sure to change it manually in the OnCommand Insight database.

Distinguished name LDAP attribute that identifies the user distinguished name (defaults to attribute distinguishedName ). Referral Indication of whether to follow the path to other domains if there are multiple domains in the enterprise. Always use the default (follow ). Timeout (ms) Length of time to wait for a response from the LDAP server before timing out, in milliseconds (defaults to 2 seconds, which is adequate in all cases and should not be modified). LDAP servers (use IP address or DNS name to identify the LDAP server, typically provided comma to delimit) in this format:

ldap:// :port

or, to use the default port:

ldap://

Note: To import the LDAP certificates, click Import Certificates and automatically import or manually locate the certificate files.

6. If you changed any of the previous fields, enter Directory lookup values. Confirm the password and click Validate Password to check it on the server. 7. Click Update to save the changes.

Setting up multiple tenancy in reporting OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse accommodates multiple tenancy (often abbreviated "multi- tenancy") in reporting by allowing you to associate users with one or more business entities. With this feature, administrators can separate data or reports according to user attributes or user affiliation. Business entities use a hierarchy for the purposes of capacity chargeback using the following values: • Tenant: Primarily used by service providers to associate resources with a customer, for example, NetApp. • Line of Business (LOB): A line of business within a company, for example "Hardware" or "Software." • Business Unit: A traditional business unit such as "Sales" or "Marketing." • Project: A project to which you might want to assign capacity chargeback. Getting started with Data Warehouse | 37

The process of configuring multiple tenancy involves the following major steps: • Configure a Data Warehouse user account. • Create a group in Reporting Connection. • Assign users to one or more groups, which represent business entities. • Assign users to one or more business entities. For example, users associated with "NetApp" obtain access to all business entities that have “NetApp” as a tenant. • Test that users can see only those reports that they should see. The following points summarize how users access reporting data: • A user, not assigned to any group, gets access to all the data. • A user, assigned to any group, will not be able to get access to records without business entity. For example, you might have the following departments and need to separate reports for users within these departments.

User Engineering Support Finance Legal User1 X X User2 X X User3 X

Configuring user accounts You must complete several steps to configure user accounts.

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal. 2. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select User Management. 3. Configure each user account.

Assigning users to business entities You must complete a series of steps to assign users to business entities.

Steps

1. Log onto OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse as a super user. 2. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Reporting Portal. 3. Enter your user name and password and click OK.

Repeat the process of adding members to each of the business entity groups.

Troubleshooting setup issues There are several common issues with annotations, builds, and reports that you may face during setup. You can troubleshoot these issues by following the steps outlined.

Why I cannot see my annotations If you cannot see annotations in Data Warehouse, you might need to force an update of annotations and then initiate a Data Warehouse build. Missing annotations affect the way data is imported into Data Warehouse and is displayed in the reports. For example, if the annotation “Tier” is not available, you will not be able to group storage systems by tier in Data Warehouse reports. 40 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Related concepts Annotations on page 50

Forcing an update of annotations for Data Warehouse You can initiate an update of annotations from OnCommand Insight to Data Warehouse.

About this task You can update annotations using one of two options: • Including deleted objects: This includes data about devices that no longer exist such as hosts, storage arrays, or switches that were removed. This is needed if you want to build Data Warehouse data with historical data points. • Not including deleted objects: Choose this option if you want to exclude deleted objects.

Steps

1. Access the OnCommand Insight Administration web-based portal.

2. From the OnCommand Insight Main Menu, select Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for DWH (include deleted objects). Getting started with Data Warehouse | 41

Generating a manual Data Warehouse build After forcing an annotations update (running transient data) in OnCommand Insight, you need to initiate a Data Warehouse build. You can wait until the next scheduled build or initiate a build now.

Steps 1. Access the Data Warehouse portal. 2. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Schedule. 3. Click Build Now.

Importing user-defined annotations into Data Warehouse After forcing an annotation update in OnCommand Insight, you need to select the annotations you want in Data Warehouse and initiate a Data Warehouse build. You can wait until the next scheduled build or initiate a build now.

Steps 1. From the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Annotations. View a list of annotations. The list displays a row for every annotation type and a target object to which the annotation can be assigned. A check mark in the Published column indicates that the annotation was already selected for the particular target object and is already available through the Data Warehouse data marts.

42 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

2. Click Edit to edit how annotations will be imported from OnCommand Insight.

3. To edit the annotation process, do the following: • Published. Check this to add annotations retrieved from OnCommand Insight into the Data Warehouse database. Click All to select all annotations on all objects. Click None to deselect all options. Note: Uncheck this option to remove the annotation column from the specific object's inventory table and associated data marts. If any custom-designed reports use annotation data, the reports do not run successfully. • Init with Current. Check this to initialize historical data in Data Warehouse dimension tables with the current annotation value. Click All to select all annotations on all objects. Click None to deselect all options. This checkbox is disabled once an annotation has been published; the checkbox is enabled for annotations that have not been published. For example, if a host is annotated with annotation type "floor" and gets the value "1", and there are 3 rows for that host in the host_dimension table, then selecting "Init with current" associates the value "1" in the 'floor" column for all 3 rows in the host_dimension table. If "init with current" is not selected, then only the latest row for that host will have the value "1" in the floor column. 4. Click Save. Getting started with Data Warehouse | 43

A warning message appears indicating that this will cause changes to the structure of the data or , if you are removing annotations. 5. To continue, click Yes. Data Warehouse initiates an asynchronous Annotations job that applies the requested changes. You can see the job in the Jobs page. You can also see the changes in the Data Warehouse database schema.

What to do with failing historical build points You can build from history, but skip any failed builds by enabling an option to Skip Failed Builds. If you do this, the build from history continues. If a build fails and this option is enabled, Data Warehouse continues building and ignores any failed builds. In such cases, there will not be a data point in the historical data for any skipped builds. If you do not enable this option and the build fails, all subsequent jobs are aborted.

Related tasks Skipping failed builds on page 65

Troubleshooting incorrect report numbers A report might show data that you did not expect. To help troubleshoot this, you can run a utility that shows the possible issues.

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal. 2. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Troubleshooting. 3. Scroll down and click Sanity Tests. 4. In the Sanity Tests view, to filter what tests and results you see, do any of the following and click Filter: • Select the type of test. • Select whether you want to see all states of errors. • Select whether you want to see all root causes or a specific one. 5. Optionally, enter a prefix for the DWH schema, such as “inventory” or “performance.” 6. Click Start. Data Warehouse retrieves test information and shows you possible issues with your data. 44 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Accessing the Data Warehouse Portal The OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Portal is a web-based user interface that you can use to update connector information, view job queues, access documentation and schema diagrams, perform backups, and update builds.

About this task The following is the default user name and password. It is a good idea to change these defaults after installation. • Username: admin • Password: admin123

Steps

1. Open a web browser and enter the following URL: http:///dwh 2. Enter your username and password. 3. Click OK. The Data Warehouse Portal opens.

46 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Connecting Data Warehouse to OnCommand Insight servers Connectors establish connections from the OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse to the OnCommand Insight servers. You can connect Data Warehouse with one or more OnCommand Insight servers. You can add or remove connections to or from OnCommand Insight databases.

About this task Data Warehouse assigns a global unique ID to the connector that is used in conjunction with the connector name. After adding a connector, Data Warehouse queries the OnCommand Insight database for the OnCommand Insight site name and version. You can choose to connect to a data source with or without SSL. Choosing the secure data source forces the connection to use SSL when communicating with the OnCommand Insight remote database. Data Warehouse can provide a consolidated view of data from multiple OnCommand Insight installations. This consolidated database provides the following information: • Globally Unique Identifiers: Each object is assigned a globally unique ID that is independent of the IDs used by individual sites, to avoid conflicting IDs and enable duplicate detection. These IDs are shared between all the data marts. This ID is the Globally Unique ID (GUID) in the Comment column of the Inventory data mart tables. • No duplication: Entities that exist in multiple OnCommand Insight databases are registered only once in the consolidated database. • Current record: The data in the consolidated database (Inventory data mart) is always the most up-to-date possible. Data Warehouse Administration | 47

When you add or edit a connection, you can also test the connection. The test does the following: • Verifies the host IP address, user name, and password and ensures that a connection can be established. Invalid connections appear in red. • Compares the OnCommand Insight version to the Data Warehouse version. If the versions are not compatible, an error message appears. • Verifies that the OnCommand Insight database has not been changed or restored to a different database as seen by the last Data Warehouse processing. If there has been a change, an error message appears.

Steps

1. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Connectors. The Connectors table appears blank at first and shows connector information after you add a connector. 2. Click New to add a new connector. 3. Enter the following:

Encryption To enable Data Warehouse requests to be made using SSL encryption, select Enabled. Name A connector name that will identify the connector on the Connectors view. Host Host IP address User name "inventory" Note: Using this user name and password, you can log into the remote OnCommand Insight database and perform queries on the data. You should change the default user name and password as soon as possible.

Password "sanscreen"

4. To specify the port to use for TCP connections to the host, click Advanced and enter the TCP port number. 5. To specify the port (other than the default port) to use for HTTPS connections to the host, click Advanced and enter the port number. 6. Click Test. Data Warehouse tests the connection. 7. Click Save. If you enter multiple connections for multiple installations, Data Warehouse invokes independent build processes, one for each database from which data should be extracted. Each such build process extracts data from an OnCommand Insight database and loads it into the consolidated database. 48 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Managing jobs You can see a list of current jobs and their status. The first job in a build cycle is in bold type. The build that Data Warehouse performs for each connector and for each data mart is considered a job.

About this task You can cancel any pending job you have scheduled or begun. You can also clear the history of previously executed jobs. You can clear history of jobs that are not pending, running, or in the process of aborting. You can clear all history or all history except the previous 24 hours to remove all but the last day's entries. You can see information about the following types of jobs: inventory, dimensions, capacity, port capacity, VM capacity, file system utilization, capacity efficiency, history build, dynamic annotations, connector removal, skipped build, Phone Home activities, and maintenance jobs. A maintenance job runs weekly and uses mysql tools to optimize the database.

Steps

1. From the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Jobs.

Data Warehouse Administration | 49

2. If a Pending status appears, a cancel link appears. To cancel a pending job, click cancel. 3. To remove history, click All or All but last 24h. No additional message appears.

Scheduling daily builds You can set the frequency and the time of the build process, building each Data Warehouse data mart. Data Warehouse performs a build job for each connector and for each data mart. For example, Data Warehouse performs an inventory job for each connector, then performs a capacity job for each connector.

About this task Whenever the Data Warehouse is being built, it performs an inventory job for every connector. After the inventory jobs are complete, Data Warehouse performs jobs for dimensions, capacity, and the remaining data marts.

Steps

1. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Schedule.

2. Click Edit to add a new schedule.

50 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

3. Choose the frequency, for example, daily or weekly. 4. Choose the time at which you want the job to run. This ensures that the build job runs automatically. 5. To enable the schedule, check Enabled. Note: If you do not check this, the schedule build does not occur. 6. Click Save. 7. From the Schedule page, to build Data Warehouse outside of the automatic scheduled build, click Build Now.

Annotations The annotation feature lets you define information that relates to objects in your environment and then track the objects based on the annotation. For example, you could add building or floor number annotations to devices in your environment. Additionally, you might want to look at all devices in a specific data center or business entity and determine which business entity is using the most tier 1 storage. To do this, you assign a data center, business entity or tier annotation to the device using the OnCommand Insight Client. Then, you can bring selected user-defined annotations from OnCommand Insight into Data Warehouse. You want to do this to see the annotation values assigned to objects appear in your custom reports. For details about creating annotations in OnCommand Insight, see the OnCommand Insight Inventory User Guide. You can specify which user-defined annotations propagate to Data Warehouse. Annotations are added as additional columns to the object table in the inventory, and to the relevant dimension table in the data marts. When you update the annotations on resources using the OnCommand Insight user interface and initiate or wait for the next Data Warehouse build, you will see the results in the following tables: • dwh_inventory.annotation_value • dwh_inventory.object_to_annotation Data Warehouse Administration | 51

Ensuring annotations entered in OnCommand Insight are included in Data Warehouse requires the following major processes, each explained in this section: • Before you import annotations into Data Warehouse, ensure that they are prepared in OnCommand Insight. To do this, you can manually run the Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for Data Warehouse option or wait until the next scheduled transient data run process. When you force the update of annotations, you force the OnCommand Insight server to calculate and place the transient data (such as annotation values) into database tables so that the Data Warehouse ETL process can read the data. The update of annotations data occurs every four hours automatically, but you can force it to happen more frequently. • Import annotations into Data Warehouse by using Data Warehouse Annotations option. • If you want to include annotations in reports that you create by using the OnCommand Insight Reporting Portal (Query Studio or Report Studio), you need to update the OnCommand Insight reporting metadata model. When you upgrade Data Warehouse, the annotations job runs automatically during the database restore process. The annotations job runs automatically also when JBoss starts up. Note: JBoss is an application server where the OnCommand Insight Java code runs and is needed for both for the OnCommand Insight server and for Data Warehouse.

Preparing annotations in OnCommand Insight Annotations must be prepared in OnCommand Insight before they can be imported into Data Warehouse.

Steps

1. Access the OnCommand Insight web-based Administration portal. 2. From the OnCommand Insight Main Menu, select Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for Data Warehouse.

Importing user-defined annotations into Data Warehouse After forcing an annotation update in OnCommand Insight, you need to select the annotations you want in Data Warehouse and initiate a Data Warehouse build. You can wait until the next scheduled build or initiate a build now.

Steps

1. From the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Annotations. View a list of annotations. The list displays a row for every annotation type and a target object to which the annotation can be assigned. A check mark in the Published column indicates that the annotation was already selected for the particular target object and is already available through the Data Warehouse data marts.

52 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

2. Click Edit to edit how annotations will be imported from OnCommand Insight.

3. To edit the annotation process, do the following: Data Warehouse Administration | 53

• Published. Check this to add annotations retrieved from OnCommand Insight into the Data Warehouse database. Click All to select all annotations on all objects. Click None to deselect all options. Note: Uncheck this option to remove the annotation column from the specific object's inventory table and associated data marts. If any custom-designed reports use annotation data, the reports do not run successfully. • Init with Current. Check this to initialize historical data in Data Warehouse dimension tables with the current annotation value. Click All to select all annotations on all objects. Click None to deselect all options. This checkbox is disabled once an annotation has been published; the checkbox is enabled for annotations that have not been published. For example, if a host is annotated with annotation type "floor" and gets the value "1", and there are 3 rows for that host in the host_dimension table, then selecting "Init with current" associates the value "1" in the 'floor" column for all 3 rows in the host_dimension table. If "init with current" is not selected, then only the latest row for that host will have the value "1" in the floor column. 4. Click Save. A warning message appears indicating that this will cause changes to the structure of the data or data loss, if you are removing annotations. 5. To continue, click Yes. Data Warehouse initiates an asynchronous Annotations job that applies the requested changes. You can see the job in the Jobs page. You can also see the changes in the Data Warehouse database schema.

Viewing the Annotations job in the Jobs list You can view the Annotations job in the Jobs list and apply the annotation changes to Data Warehouse data marts.

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal. 2. From the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Jobs.

Updating annotations in OnCommand Insight reporting To include annotations in reports that you create by using the OnCommand Insight Reporting Portal (Query Studio or Report Studio), you need to update the OnCommand Insight reporting metadata model.

Steps

1. Unzip \cognos\10_64\deployment\Models XX.zip (where “XX” is the current version) to a temporary directory. 54 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

2. Open Framework Manager (Start menu > All Programs> IBM Cognos version > Framework Manager). 3. Click on the Open a Project link. 4. In the File Open dialog, navigate to the temporary directory where you unzipped the Models xx.zip file and open the .cpf file for the datamart to which you want to add the annotation.

For example, open \My Projects\Storage Capacity\Storage Capacity.cpf. 5. Expand the directory. For example, expand Storage Capacity > dwh_capacity 6. If you are looking at packages other than the Inventory package, do the following: a) Expand the directory by double-clicking the dimension table (for example, storage_dimension) corresponding to the target resource you assigned the annotation type to in the OnCommand Insight Client. b) Click OK to refresh the dimension table. c) Expand Advanced Datamart. The annotation entry appears under the dimension table on the left side. 7. If you are looking at the Inventory package, do the following: a) Expand these directories Inventory [version] > dwh_inventory > Database layer > storage Update the table (for example, Storage) to include the annotation column. b) Expand these directories Inventory [version] > dwh_inventory > Presentation layer > storage Update the table (for example, Storage) to include the annotation column. c) Expand these directories Inventory [version] > dwh_inventory > Group containing the annotation object (for example, Storage Assets) > annotated object (for example, storage) Update the table (for example, Storage) to include the annotation column. 8. Right-click on the query subject corresponding to the dimension table you updated (for example, Storage Dimension) and click Edit Definition. 9. Double-click each new annotation entry under the raw “x_dimension” table to the “Available Model Objects” list to add it to the query subject. Reorder and rename as desired. 10. Expand Packages. 11. Right-click on the package, select Publish Packages and click through the dialogs to finish. 12. In the toolbar, click the Save icon. Data Warehouse Administration | 55

Data Warehouse database build from history overview You can build the Data Warehouse database using historical data in your OnCommand Insight server. Data Warehouse extracts data from the OnCommand Insight servers and builds the Data Warehouse data marts according to the build from history schedule. This option does not require a special license and inventory data is included in the build. However, to build capacity information, the OnCommand Insight Plan and OnCommand Insight Perform licenses are required. If any build (from history or current) has already been performed, the build cannot be done on dates before the last job. This means if you perform a current build, you cannot build from history. More specifically, if you performed builds from history that ended on Jan 1, 2012, you cannot perform any build on the year 2011. If the history build does not include a day or two of any unsuccessful ETL processes, do not try building history for just these few days. Historical data is for longer periods and a day or two is not 62 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

going to change trending significantly. If you do want to rebuild from history, rebuild the entire history. The Build from History view displays all build jobs from all connectors. For example, the view might display an inventory job for every connector, a port capacity job for every build run, and an annotations job. Before you configure the Build from History, the following must occur: • Connectors must be configured. • At least one of the connectors must have history information. • Annotations should be entered in OnCommand Insight and updated (from the OnCommand Insight Main Menu, Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for DWH).

Forcing an update of annotations for Data Warehouse You can initiate an update of annotations from OnCommand Insight to Data Warehouse.

About this task You can update annotations using one of two options: • Including deleted objects: This includes data about devices that no longer exist such as hosts, storage arrays, or switches that were removed. This is needed if you want to build Data Warehouse data with historical data points. • Not including deleted objects: Choose this option if you want to exclude deleted objects.

Steps

1. Access the OnCommand Insight Administration web-based portal.

Data Warehouse Administration | 63

2. From the OnCommand Insight Main Menu, select Troubleshooting > Force Update of Annotations for DWH (include deleted objects).

Adding a job that builds from history You can build the Data Warehouse database using historical data that is kept in your OnCommand Insight server.

Before you begin Before you build from history, you should update annotations in the OnCommand Insight Client and then force an update of annotation information for Data Warehouse.

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal at http:///dwh. 2. From the Advanced section of the DWH Main Menu, select Build from History.

64 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

3. Click Configure.

4. Enter the start and end times. To display a calendar from which you can select a date, click the down arrow near the month. Data Warehouse Administration | 65

The time format depends upon the locale of the Data Warehouse server. The start and end times must be within the range of history contained in all the OnCommand Insight servers to which Data Warehouse is connected, as set in the Data Warehouse portal Connectors option. The default start and end times reflect the maximum valid period. Note: Configuring a non-realistic schedule such as “Daily for 4 years” results in 1460 build cycles, which could take 10 days to complete.

5. Choose the time at which you want the job to run. This ensures that the Data Warehouse build job runs automatically at the time you specify. 6. Choose the interval. 7. Choose the date during the month or day of the week when the build from history will take place. If you select a monthly or weekly interval, the Day field appears. If you selected monthly, then Day is a date. If you selected weekly, Day is Sunday through Saturday. 8. Choose the hour when the build will take place. 9. Optionally, to return the options to default settings, click Reset. 10. Click Save. 11. From the Build from History page, to perform a build outside of the automatic schedule build, click Run. The Target Time column displays the time that this entry was built. The Status column displays whether the build was completed or failed.

Canceling a build from history job You can cancel all planned jobs. The job status becomes "Aborted."

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal. 2. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Build from History. 3. Click Cancel.

Skipping failed builds After your first build, sometimes you might encounter an unsuccessful build. To ensure that all the jobs after an unsuccessful build complete successfully, you can enable an option to skip build failures.

About this task If a build fails and the Skip Failed Builds option is enabled, Data Warehouse continues building and ignores any failed builds. If this occurs, there will not be a data point in the historical data for any skipped builds. 66 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Use this option only if the build is not successful. If a build fails in Build from History and the Skip Failed Builds checkbox is disabled (not checked), all subsequent jobs are aborted.

Steps

1. Access the Data Warehouse Portal. 2. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Build from History.

3. Click Configure. 4. Configure the build. 5. Click Save. 6. From the Build from History page, to skip failed builds, check Skip Failed Builds. You can see this checkbox only if the Run button is enabled. Data Warehouse Administration | 67

7. From the Build from History page, to perform a build outside of the automatic scheduled build, click Run.

Resetting the Data Warehouse database or Reporting server You can delete the contents of the Data Warehouse data marts and delete all configured connectors. You might want to do this if an installation or upgrade did not complete successfully and it left the Data Warehouse database in an intermediate state. You can also delete only the Inventory data model or the Cognos Reporting data model.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Reset DWH database. 2. Click one of the options. • Reset DWH Database: Deletes the contents of all Data Warehouse data marts and all configured connectors. This places the Data Warehouse to the default installed state without any custom configurations. You might choose this option, for example, if you changed your connected servers, but restored a different Data Warehouse database accidentally on your server and need to return to a default installed state. Using the Reset DWH Database option does not delete custom reports. (Custom reports are saved in the Cognos Content Store.) • Reset Inventory Only: Deletes the contents of the Inventory data model only. This does not delete any historical data. • Reset Cognos Server Only: Deletes the default Reporting data models, reports, custom reports, and any changed settings (for example, import or export tasks or data sources). This option returns the Reporting Server to Cognos "factory settings." A warning message appears. 3. To continue deleting, click Yes.

Backing up the Data Warehouse database You can back up the Data Warehouse (DWH) database to a file and later restore it using the Data Warehouse portal. This feature not only backs up your data, but also enables you to migrate to a different Data Warehouse machine or upgrade to a new Data Warehouse version.

About this task Data Warehouse backs up the following information: • LDAP configuration • Data sources • Import and export tasks that imported or exported reports • Reporting security roles, groups, and namespaces • User accounts • Any modified Reporting Connection reports 68 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Note: If you want to modify a predesigned report, we recommend that you save the predesigned report with a different name first and modify the copied version so that you do not lose your modifed version when you upgrade or restore the system. • Custom reports, regardless of where they are stored, even the My folders directory. Note: You should save custom reports in one of the OnCommand Insight shipped folders, such as Custom Reports or Custom Dashboards.

The following items are not backed up: • Cognos system configuration parameters, such as SMTP server settings • Cognos custom memory settings In this manual backup, Data Warehouse creates a zip file that contains these files: • A daily backup zip file, which contains Cognos report definitions • A reports backup zip file, which contains all the reports in Cognos (including those in the My Folders directory) • A Data Warehouse database backup file In addition to a manual backup that you can perform at any time, Data Warehouse creates a daily backup (generated each day to a file called DailyBackup.zip) that includes the report definitions. The daily backup includes the top folders and packages shipped with the product. The My Folders directory and directories that you create outside the product's top folders are not included in the Cognos backup.

Steps

1. To access the Data Warehouse portal, open a Web browser and enter the URL for the OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse:

http:///dwh

2. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Backup/Restore. 3. Do one of the following: • To back up only inventory data and not performance, capacity, port or other data, select Inventory Datamart only. To back up your historical capacity data as well, do not check this option. • To back up all data except performance data, which might require more time and space, select All Datamarts except Performance Datamart. • To back up all data including performance data, select All Datamarts Including Performance Datamart. 4. Click Backup. This operation can take awhile (possibly 30 minutes or more). Data Warehouse creates a backup file and displays its name. Data Warehouse Administration | 69

5. Right-click on the backup file and save it to a location you want. Recommendation: You might not want to change the file name; however, you should store the file outside the Data Warehouse installation path.

Backing up custom reports and reporting artifacts If you created custom reports or you made changes to the reports in your current version of the Reporting Connection and you want to upgrade to a newer version, you need to back up your reports and reporting artifacts and restore them after the upgrade installation.

About this task If you made changes to the predesigned reports, the best practice is to create your own copy in a separate folder from the predesigned ones. That way, when you update the predesigned artifacts, you will not overwrite your changes. Two folders exist under each package: • CustomerDashboards - Use this to store your dashboards. • CustomerReports - Use this to store your reports. If you have reports in the My Folders area, you should copy them to the CustomerReports folders so that they are not lost. In addition to a manual backup that you can perform at any time, Data Warehouse creates a daily backup (generated each day to a file called DailyBackup.zip) that includes the report definitions. The daily backup includes the top folders, CustomerReports folders, and packages that were shipped with the product. The My Folders directory and directories that you create outside the product's top folders are not included in the Cognos backup.

Restoring the Data Warehouse database When you back up the Data Warehouse database, Data Warehouse creates a .gz file that you can later use to restore that same database.

About this task When you restore the Data Warehouse database, you have the option to restore user account information from the backup as well. User management tables are used by the Data Warehouse report engine in a Data Warehouse only installation.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Backup/Restore. 2. In the Restore section, in the Select File to Restore option, click Browse and locate the .gz file that holds the Data Warehouse backup. 3. If you want to restore reports or user account data also, check one or both of the following: 70 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

• Restore database: Includes Data Warehouse settings, data marts, connections, schedules, and user account information. • Restore reports: Includes custom reports, predesigned reports, changes to predesigned reports that you made, and reporting settings you made in the Reporting Connection. 4. Click Restore. After the restore process completes, a message appears just below the Restore button. If the restore process is successful, the message indicates success. If the restore process fails, the message indicates the specific exception that occurred to cause the failure. If an exception occurs and the restore fails, the original database is automatically reset.

11. Click on the pencil icon next to each package name and enter a new target name if necessary. For example, add a _original suffix to the existing name. Then click OK. 12. After you rename the target package names for all packages, select all blue folders and click Next to continue. 13. Accept all default values until you reach the Finish button. 14. Click Finish. Click Run. 15. Check the View the details of this import after closing this dialog checkbox. Click OK. 16. Click the Refresh link in the top right of the page until the Status text indicates that the job is complete. 17. Click Close. When completed, two sets of packages appear in the Public Folders tab. For example, one with a 6.x suffix (for the newer version) and one with a _original (or whatever you entered during the backup/restore procedure) suffix which will contain your old reports. Due to changes in the data model, the reports in the old packages may not run and will have to be upgraded. Your portal tabs now point to the 6.x version of the portal pages.

Troubleshooting Data Warehouse You can do various tasks related to troubleshooting Data Warehouse. • Use OnCommand Insight AutoSupport (ASUP). • View OnCommand Insight logs. • Resolve issues related to upgrades and business entities. • Resolve issues related to the consolidation of multiple OnCommand Insight servers. You can consolidate multiple OnCommand Insight servers into the same Data Warehouse database. Many configurations may report the same object from multiple connectors (that is, the same switch exists in two OnCommand Insight instances). In such cases, Data Warehouse consolidates the multiple objects into one (a primary connector is chosen and the object's data will be taken from that connector only). The storage administrator can use the Troubleshooting page to solve problems related to consolidation issues.

Issue resolution with AutoSupport (ASUP) You can send ASUP logs to NetApp Technical Support for assistance in troubleshooting. ASUP is configured to run automatically using OnCommand Insight options. In the Data Warehouse Portal, you can initiate a transmittal to ASUP and you can also disable the automatic send process. ASUP does not send a backup of the OnCommand Insight database to NetApp Technical Support. The information is forwarded to NetApp via FTP, HTTPS, or email, according to your choice. It contains minimal sensitive data. For example, sent files do not contain clear text passwords. Instead, the backup includes the hashed representation of user passwords, and encrypted device passwords. Data Warehouse sends the logs to the OnCommand Insight Server that is the first connector as listed in the Data Warehouse portal > Connector option. The automatic process sends the following files: • Data Warehouse logs • boot.log (including backups) • dwh.log (including backups such as dwh.log.1) • dwh_upgrade.log (including backups) • jboss.log (including backups) • ldap.log (including backups) • SQL dump of the Data Warehouse management database • mysql: my.cnf, .err and slow query logs • full innodb status • Sanity tests • Cognos logs • cognos-manager.zip: Contains the reporting data models. These are shipped in the \cognos\c10\deployment directory as a zip file in a file called Models 6.0.zip. To make changes to the data model (such as to add annotations), unzip the Models 6.0.zip file into the \cognos\c10 directory. This creates a My Projects directory in the \cognos\c10 directory, which OnCommand Insight zips. For 64-bit installations, the directory path is \cognos\10_64. • cognos-logs.zip: Contains the Cognos log files from the \cognos\c10\logs directory. Contains the logs generated by Cognos as well as our OnCommand InsightAP.log file that contains all logging from users logging in and out of OnCommand Insight reporting. • apache-logs.zip: Contains all of the Apache log files generated by the Apache server, on which Cognos runs. • DailyFullBackup.zip: Contains the backup of the reporting artifacts in the Public Folders. The contents of My Folders is not included in this. You can generate a troubleshooting report manually. The Troubleshooting Report zip file contains the following Data Warehouse information: • boot.log (including backups) Data Warehouse Administration | 73

• dwh.log (including backups such as dwh.log.1) • dwh_upgrade.log (including backups) • jboss.log (including backups) • ldap.log (including backups) • dump files in c:\Program Files\OnCommand Insight\jboss\server\onaro\log\dwh\ • SQL dump of the Data Warehouse management database • mysql: my.cnf, .err and slow query logs • full innodb status • Sanity tests

Migrating business entities When you upgrade, you might need assistance migrating business entities from the previous version to the current version.

About this task After you upgrade to 6.2 and begin to change business entity information, Data Warehouse will include history that points to the older business entities (the ones that are upgraded automatically 78 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

during the installation) and the current data that points to the new business entities. This results in incorrect trend data for two different business entities. To resolve this, use the business entities utility to migrate business entities. Note: This action changes the data in the database. Use this option under the direction of NetApp Technical Support. Use this utility only once after upgrading.

Business entities have a four-part format: ... For example, you might have these items: • NetApp..Legal.patents • NetApp.Data Storage.Marketing.sales events This tool enables you to replace only the business entities with the format of “N/A.N/A.some- business_units.N/A”. The replacement can be done only once per business entity. Only the business entities that are not currently assigned in OnCommand Insight to any object can be replaced.

Steps

1. Back up the Data Warehouse database before starting this process. 2. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Troubleshooting. 3. In the Troubleshooting view, select Business Entity Migration.

Multiple server chassis consolidation issues You can view the connectors that report on hosts and adapters and SAN switches and storage arrays. You can also see the various connectors that report on an object and identify the primary connector, which is the connector that was chosen for the object.

Viewing hosts and adapters consolidation issues The reported data for hosts and their associated adapters is derived from the Inventory data mart.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main Menu, select Troubleshooting. 2. Under the Chassis Consolidation section, click Hosts and Adapters.

For all hosts and adapters there is a row for each connector that reports on them, as well as the Primary Connector from which the host and adapter are taken. For hosts and adapters only, a host that is reported by one connector may have its adapters reported by a different connector. You can also see the OnCommand Insight change time of a host/adapter for each connector. Using this parameter, you can discover when an update has occurred in OnCommand Insight for the host/adapter and when the same host/adapter has been updated in other OnCommand Insight servers. 80 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

3. Optionally, filter data in this view by typing a portion of the text and clicking Filter. To clear the filter, clear the Filter box and click Filter. You can filter by host name, host IP, adapter WWN, or OnCommand Insight object ID. The filter is case sensitive. 4. Review the following data:

Host GUID Global Unique Identifier for this type of consolidated device: Host. Host Name Name of the consolidated host as it appears in the data warehouse. Host IP IP address of the consolidated host. Adapter GUID Global Unique identifier for the host adapter. Adapter WWN WWN of the host adapter. Principal Connector Name of the OnCommand Insight connector that was the actual source of the data. Available Connectors All OnCommand Insight connectors where the consolidated host / adapter reside. Insight ID OnCommand Insight ID of the consolidated host/adapter for the relevant reporting connector. Insight Change Time When an update has occurred in OnCommand Insight for the host/ adapter and when the same host/adapter has been updated in other OnCommand Insight servers.

5. To obtain detail about the connector, click on the connector.

You can see the following: Data Warehouse Administration | 81

• Host name • The last time a Data Warehouse job was run on that connector • The last time a change was received from that connector • The version of the OnCommand Insight server pointed to by that connector

Viewing storage arrays consolidation issues The reported data for storage arrays is derived from the Inventory data mart. For all storage arrays, there is a row for each connector that reports on them, as well as the Primary Connector from which each array is taken.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Troubleshooting. 2. Under Chassis Consolidation, click SAN Storage Arrays. 3. Optionally, filter data in this view by typing a portion of the text and clicking Filter. To clear the filter, clear the Filter box and click Filter. You can filter by storage name, storage IP, vendor model, or OnCommand Insight object ID. The filter is case sensitive. 4. Review the following data

GUID Global Unique Identifier for this type of consolidated device: Storage array. Name Name of the consolidated storage array as it appears in the data warehouse. IP IP address of the consolidated storage array. Vendor and Model Name of the vendor who sells the consolidated storage array and the manufacturer's model number. Principal Connector Name of the OnCommand Insight connector that was the actual source of the data. Available All OnCommand Insight connectors where the consolidated storage Connectors array resides. Insight ID ID of the consolidated storage array on the OnCommand Insight chassis where the Principal Connector resides. Insight Change When an update has occurred in OnCommand Insight for the storage Time array and when the same storage array has been updated in other OnCommand Insight servers. 82 | OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse Administration Guide

Viewing switches consolidation issues The reported data for switches is derived from the Inventory data mart. For all switches, there is a row for each connector that reports on them, as well as the Primary Connector from which each switch is taken.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Troubleshooting. 2. Under Chassis Consolidation, click SAN Switches. 3. Optionally, filter data in this view by typing a portion of the text and clicking Filter. To clear the filter, clear the Filter box and click Filter. You can filter by switch name, switch IP, vendor model, or OnCommand Insight object ID. The filter is case sensitive. 4. Review the following data:

GUID Global Unique Identifier for this type of consolidated device: Storage array. Name Name of the consolidated storage array as it appears in the data warehouse. IP IP address of the consolidated storage array. Vendor and Model Name of the vendor who sells the consolidated storage array and the manufacturer's model number. WWN WWN for the consolidation switch. Principal Connector Name of the OnCommand Insight connector that was the actual source of the data. Available All OnCommand Insight connectors where the consolidated storage Connectors array resides. Insight ID ID of the consolidated storage array on the OnCommand Insight chassis where the Principal Connector resides. Insight Change When an update has occurred in OnCommand Insight for the storage Time array and when the same storage array has been updated in other OnCommand Insight servers.

Resolving multiple server annotation consolidation issues The Annotation Consolidation view in the Data Warehouse Troubleshooting view displays a table that contains all the available Annotation Types and the Object Types to which they can be applied.

About this task The consolidation of annotation values is based on the value of the Annotation Type. A storage array could have two different tier values, each coming from a different connector. Thus, if in one connector there is a tier defined by the name gold and in a second connector a tier is defined with the name goldy, this information appears in Data Warehouse as two separate tiers. Because some Annotation Types allow assignment of multiple annotation values to the same object, Data Warehouse allows objects (for example, “host”) to have multiple annotation values assigned to them (for example, “data center 1” and “data center 2" could be assigned to the same host). Tier annotation on volumes functions somewhat differently from the general annotation tables. Potentially, there could be a very large number of volumes in the environment and displaying all of them in the Data Warehouse would affect the usability of the information. Therefore, the Annotations Consolidation view displays only the volumes that have multiple tier values assigned to them, and the storage containing each such volume.

Steps

1. From the Advanced section of the Data Warehouse Main menu, select Troubleshooting. 2. In the Annotation Consolidation section, in the row for the object, click Show. The following shows an example of the annotations for data center.
