Cause

The issue is caused when collection of stats is switched off. Stats collection settings can be checked by examining the following file:

/etc/vx/dcli/sfm/conf/dcli_conf.ini

The following entries show that Stats collection is disabled

 

EnableVolumeStats = false ;

EnableDiskStats = false ;

EnableCtlrStats = false ;

EnablePathStats = false ;

EnableEnclrStats = false ;

 

Resolution

This issue is fixed in vom-HF050001960-15b.  This patch is available at the SORT website in the Downloads / Patches area.  The direct link is:

This page also includes installation instructions to deploy this Patch using Settings / Deployment in the VOM GUI.

 

As a workaround, Stats collection can be enabled, by setting the above variables to 'true'. Alternativley, instead of setting the variables to false, Stats collection can be disabled by commenting out the relevent lines with a semicolon in the conf file as follows:

 

[Stats]

;VolumeLog = /var/opt/VRTSsfmh/stats/6hour.vrts_vxvm_volume ;

;DiskLog = /var/opt/VRTSsfmh/stats/6hour.vrts_vxvm_disk ;

;DmpCtlrLog = /var/opt/VRTSsfmh/stats/1day.vrts_dmp_ctlr ;

;DmpPathLog = /var/opt/VRTSsfmh/stats/1day.vrts_dmp_path ;

;DmpEnclrLog = /var/opt/VRTSsfmh/stats/1day.vrts_dmp_enclr ;

EnableVolumeStats = false ;

EnableDiskStats = false ;

EnableCtlrStats = false ;

EnablePathStats = false ;

EnableEnclrStats = false ;
