NetApp today quietly released OnCommand Insight Report 1.0, providing a global view of FAS and/or V-Series storage in a single, comprehensive view. In addition to its built-in reports and dashboard, OnCommand Report can also generate highly-customizable reports and dashboards based upon data from multiple OnCommand servers.OnCommand Report acquires and consolidates data from multiple DataFabric Manager (DFM) and/or OnCommand servers. This information is then rolled up into OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse by a process called Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL). The Query Studio is used to make this data available for reporting. Finally, to manage and view the data, a console and (Cognos) reporting connection are made available to the administrator.
OnCommand Report is a separately installed product from OnCommand Unified Manager or DataFabric Manager (DFM) server. It does, however, support connecting to DFM server versions 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and OnCommand server 5.0.
OnCommand Report 1.0 should only be installed on an x64 host with one of the following 64-bit operating systems:
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or Standard Edition (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 Enterprise or Standard Edition (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise or Standard Edition (64-bit)
Use of these operating systems is supported on both physical or virtual machines. If OnCommand Report is run within a virtual machine, VMware vSphere 4.0 or higher is required. CPU and memory requirements vary, based upon the number of storage systems managed by OnCommand servers.
OnCommand Report 1.0 relies heavily on various open-source projects (including, but not limited to, such notable components as Apache Jakarta log4j, JBoss, MySQL, etc.), IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 8.4.1, as well as several Java and XML components.
