New features and improvements in SRM
Storage Resource Monitor 2024.2 includes the new features in version 2024.2 of the SolarWinds Platform. For more information, see the SolarWinds Platform 2024.2 Release Notes.
SRM introduces API-based polling for NetApp E-Series devices
NetApp E-Series and EF-Series storage arrays, as well as Lenovo DE Series and FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS AB/HB Series, can now be monitored using SANtricity Web Services (REST API). The SMI-S Provider (SANtricity SMI-S Provider) is deprecated by the vendor.
When adding a new storage array, you can choose from different polling methods (SANtricity Web Services Proxy, SANtricity Web Services Embedded, or SANtricity SMI-S Provider). You can also migrate existing storage arrays from SMI-S polling to SANtricity Web Services (REST API) polling.
Other features available only with SANtricity Web Services include hardware health monitoring and controller status and host port monitoring for E-Series devices (available only on some models).
Fixes
SRM 2024.2 includes the fixes in version 2024.2 of the SolarWinds Platform.
Before you upgrade (for SRM Profiler/STM users only)
The SRM Profiler (also known as STM) reached EOL on January 1, 2022, and therefore integration between SRM and SRM Profiler is no longer supported. If you still have SRM Profiler integrated with SRM, you will need to disable integration before updating. Because the SRM license is held on the SRM Profiler, you will then need to deactivate the license and apply it to SRM.
If you try to upgrade while SRM Profiler integration is still active, the installation is halted, and a warning message is displayed.
Step 1 - Disable SRM Profiler
-
Navigate to Settings > All Settings > SRM Settings > Manage SRM Profiler Module Integration.
-
Click Disable Integration.
Step 2 - Deactivate the License from the SRM Profiler
-
Access the STM console (http://<ip address>:9000) using administration login credentials.
-
Go to Settings > License Manager, then click Deactivate.
You will receive a pop-up window that the license has been deactivated.
Step 3 - Apply the License to SRM
-
Navigate to Settings > All Settings.
-
In the Details section, click License Manager.
-
Find SRM in the list of products and click Activate.
-
Enter the license details for SRM from your customer portal.
Step 4 - Uninstall the SRM Profiler
Installation or upgrade
For new SolarWinds Platform deployments, download the installation file from the SRM product page on https://www.solarwinds.com or from the Customer Portal. For more information, see Get the installer.
To activate SRM in an existing SolarWinds Platform deployment, use the License Manager.
For upgrades, go to Settings > My Deployment to initiate the upgrade. The SolarWinds Installer upgrades your entire deployment (all SolarWinds Platform products and any scalability engines).
For more information, see the SolarWinds Platform Product Installation and Upgrade Guide.
For supported upgrade paths to 2024.2, see Upgrade an existing deployment.
