Warnings:

  • Consult your System Administrator before performing the following procedure.
  • SolarWinds strongly recommends that you only edit the mod.sys.strg.Storage.xml file as instructed. Any additional modifications may result in system performance issues or may create an error state.
  • Save a copy of the original mod.sys.strg.Storage.xml file to your local drive as a backup file, in case you need to roll back later.

 

1. Install the STM agent on the server containing the ZFS (file systems). Refer to Installing Storage Manager Agents .
2. Navigate to the install directory at C:\SolarWinds\Storage Manager Agent\systemic\mod.sys.strg.Storage_1.0.

Linux agents:

/opt/Storage_Manager_Server/agent/systemic/mod.sys.strg.Storage_1.0/

 

3. Edit the mod.sys.strg.Storage.xml file and comment the following line:
 

<validFsDevicePattern>c\d+t\d+d\d+s\d+|c\d+d\d+s\d+|c\d+d\d+p\d+|/dev/vx/dsk|/dev/md/dsk/d\d+|/dev/dsk</validFsDevicePattern>

 

So that it reads:
 

<!--

<validFsDevicePattern>c\d+t\d+d\d+s\d+|c\d+d\d+s\d+|c\d+d\d+p\d+|/dev/vx/dsk|/dev/md/dsk/d\d+|/dev/dsk</validFsDevicePattern>

-- >

 

4. Save the file and close.

5. Restart the STM agent service for the change to take effect.
