Continuous performance monitoring is the foundation of an effective and economic use of IT systems. The openSM2 (BS2000) product in combination with the openSM2 package for SE servers delivers a unified solution for the performance management of all components and systems within an SE server. In addition to BS2000, the server systems Linux, Microsoft Windows, VMware vSphere, Xen and X2000 as well as ETERNUS and SNMP-enabled systems can be monitored.
openSM2 (BS2000) provides the user with statistics on the performance of the BS2000 operating system and on resource utilization.
openSM2 (BS2000) consists of the following components:
SM2 monitoring program
SM2U1 utility routine
SM2R1 analysis routine
openSM2 Manager
The SM2 monitoring program consists of a privileged subsystem and a nonprivileged user program.
In the SM2 subsystem the monitored data is recorded, made available at a program interface for real-time monitoring (online), and on request written to an output file which can subsequently be analyzed (offline).
The SM2 user program offers functions for controlling monitored data acquisition and for presenting the monitored data on the screen.
The SM2U1 utility routine is used for managing SM2 output files.
The SM2R1 analysis routine analyzes SM2 output files.
The openSM2 Manager is available as add-on software in the SE manager for the FUJITSU Servers BS2000 SE Series (for short: SE servers). The openSM2 Manager is the webbased user interface for central monitoring of all components of an SE server.
In addition to BS200 systems, other systems and components in the SE server and in storage systems outside the SE server can be monitored. This requires the package “openSM2 for SE servers”. Storage systems outside the SE server require additional licenses.
In addition, the chargeable software product SM2-PA is available for analyzing user-specific output files.
