Et voici le oneliner PowerCLI pour le faire vite et bien :

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem|?{$_.Runtime.ConnectionState -eq "connected" -and $_.config.product.ProductLineId -eq "embeddedEsx" -and ($_.Config.Option|?{$_.Key -eq "Misc.SIOControlLogLevel"}).Value -ne "1"}|%{(Get-View $_.ConfigManager.AdvancedOption).UpdateOptions((New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue -Property @{Key="Misc.SIOControlLogLevel";Value=[Int64]1}))}

Get-Datastore vsp50sas01|Get-View|?{$_.Summary.Accessible -eq $true -and $_.Capability.StorageIORMSupported -and $_.Summary.MultipleHostAccess}|%{(Get-View (Get-View ServiceInstance).Content.StorageResourceManager).ConfigureDatastoreIORM_Task($_.MoRef, (New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageIORMConfigSpec -Property @{enabled="1"; congestionThresholdMode="automatic"; percentOfPeakThroughput="90"; statsAggregationDisabled="0"; statsCollectionEnabled="1"}))}

Ce oneliner permet, en plus d’activer SIOC en mode automatique, de jouer sur la proprieté “percentOfPeakThroughput” (90% par défaut), décrite dans le “What’s New in VMware vSphere 5.1 – Storage” :

The latency threshold is set to the value determined by the I/O injector (a part of SIOC). When the I/O injector calculates the peak throughput, it then finds the 90 percent throughput value and measures the latency at that point to determine the threshold.

De plus, dans la GUI, “Exclude I/O statistics from SDRS” correspond à la propriété “StatsAggregationDisabled“. Et “StatsCollectionEnabled” vous permettra de désactiver le mode “stats only” si vous êtes certain que le datastore ne fera jamais parti d’un storage POD datastore cluster et que vous souhaitez alléger votre VCDB.

Ceux qui, comme nous, espéraient la voir arriver avec vSphere 5 ont été déçu. L’alarme de latence de datastore n’existe pas encore, pas en GUI du moins. Et pour cause, les compteurs de latence ne sont disponibles qu’au travers des objets VirtualMachine ou HostSystem (et HostSystem uniquement pour les compteurs SIOC). Nous vous avions proposé une solution de contournement, en PowerCLI évidement, grâce au compteur maxTotalLatency mais il restait encore à trouver quel datastore avait déclenché l’alarme.

Aujourd’hui nous vous proposons une série de oneliner qui vont créer (si elles n’existent pas déjà, ce qui veut dire que vous pouvez les utiliser en tache planifiée) des alarmes pour chaque datastore (instance = UUID) qui se déclencheront si les seuils de latence fixés sont atteint sur un ESX. Attention ça pique.

MAJ 01/06/2011 : Rajout du filtre “MultipleHostAccess” pour éviter l’activation de SIOC sur du DAS

Si vous devez activer Storage I/O Control (aka IORM) sur les datastores d’un cluster, vous ne sauriez opérer autrement qu’avec un bon script ou mieux, avec un petit oneliner bien mijoté (et comme souvent, inspiré d’un post de Luc) :

Get-VMHost -location "MonBeauCluster"|Get-Datastore|Get-View|?{$_.Summary.Accessible -eq $true -and $_.Capability.StorageIORMSupported -and $_.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -and $_.IormConfiguration.Enabled -ne $true}|%{(Get-View (Get-View ServiceInstance).Content.StorageResourceManager).ConfigureDatastoreIORM_Task($_.MoRef,(New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageIORMConfigSpec -Property @{enabled="1";congestionThreshold="25"}))}

La valeur par défaut de la variable congestionThreshold est “30″ mais peut être tuné en fonction de la nature du stockage (fixée à “25″ dans notre oneliner), comme détaillé dans le pdf linké en début de post.

Et pour ceux que ça intéresse, la kb Troubleshooting Storage I/O Control précise quelques points importants (ainsi que le la façon d’obtenir les logs de SIOC) :

• Before enabling SIOC, ensure that datastores are managed by a single vCenter Server.
• [...] if the number of hosts connected to the datastore has changed since enabling SIOC [...]
