stats collection: vmax storstpd.
Would someone give me an overview of different types of statistics collection on DMX and VMAX?
I have enabled storstpd on host directly attached to VMAX and do not see any files created. My goal is to have some kind of historical data available to look back.
In below setup are there any files collected and stored anywhere?
When I open a case with EMC for performance issue, without any of these files would they able to troubleshoot anything?
Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI) Version V8.3.0.0 (Edit Level: 2252)

The best way to use the statistical data is through Unisphere for Vmax application. This application has all the built in graphing and also the different reports. You can also generate reports over time and at time intervals. The database can be backed up and imported into later versions as they emerge from EMC.
Unisphere can be installed in 2 ways. Either by deployment in an ESXI environment.
https://download.emc.com/downloads/DL79022_Unisphere-for-VMAX-Virtual-Appliance-8.3.0.1.ova?source=OLS
Or via an install option for something Like windows. The windows version will also need Solutions Enabler. The same goes for a Linux install also.
