6 Chapter 1 Welcome Introduction Enterprise Manager allows you to monitor, manage, and analyze Storage Centers and FluidFS clusters from a centralized management console. The Enterprise Manager Data Collector stores data and alerts it gathers from Storage Centers and FluidFS clusters in an external database or an embedded database. Enterprise Manager Clients connect to the Data Collector to perform monitoring and administrative tasks. This guide describes how to install and configure required Enterprise Manager components. For information about installing optional Enterprise Manager components, see the Enterprise Manager Administrator s Guide. Enterprise Manager Components Enterprise Manager consists of the following components: Component Description Required/ Optional Setup Documentation Primary Data Collector Service that gathers reporting data and alerts from Storage Centers Required Enterprise Manager Installation Guide Client Windows-based application that connects to the Data Collector to provide a centralized management console for one or more Storage Centers Required Enterprise Manager Installation Guide Remote Data Collector Data Collector that is connected to the primary Data Collector and can be used to activate a disaster recovery site if the primary Data Collector becomes unavailable Optional Enterprise Manager Administrator s Guide Server Agent Service for Windows that allows Enterprise Manager to free volume storage space from expired Replays that would otherwise remain locked by Windows Optional Enterprise Manager Administrator s Guide Charting Viewer Windows-based application that displays IO performance statistics for volumes, servers, disks, and controllers Optional Storage Center Charting Viewer Administrator s Guide 2 Enterprise Manager 6.2 Installation Guide

33 Increase the Data Collector Memory Limit to Improve Performance Increase the Data Collector Memory Limit to Improve Performance The Data Collector memory requirements depend on the number of managed volumes and Storage Centers. Different memory limits apply for 32-bit and 64-bit systems: On 32-bit systems, the Data Collector is limited to 1024 MB of memory, and this limit cannot be changed. On 64-bit systems, the Data Collector is limited to 2048 MB by default, but this limit can be increased to improve performance. If you plan to manage more than 500 volumes or more than two Storage Centers and the Data Collector server is 64-bit, increase the amount of memory the Data Collector can use: Note: If the Data Collector is installed on a 32-bit server, you must upgrade the server to 64-bit before you can increase the memory limit. 1 Start the Data Collector Manager. a From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs Dell Compellent Enterprise Manager Enterprise Data Collector Manager.
