SAN End-to-end monitoring
NOTE
End-to-end monitoring requires a Fabric OS device.
NOTE
An end-to-end monitor and a Top Talker monitor cannot be configured on the same external F-port
ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). You must delete the Top Talker monitor before you
configure the end-to-end monitor.
NOTE
End-to-end monitoring on an Access Gateway device requires Fabric OS 7.0 or later with an Advanced
Performance Monitor license.
Performance enables you to provision end-to-end monitors of selected target and initiator pairs.
These monitors are persisted in the database and are enabled on one of the F_ports on the
connected device (the Management application server determines the port). You can use these
monitors to view both real-time and historical performance data.
NOTE
A Top Talker and an end-to-end monitor cannot be configured on the same fabric. You must delete
the Top Talker monitor before you configure the end-to-end monitor.
Configuring an end-to-end monitor pair
NOTE
End-to-end monitoring on an Access Gateway device requires Fabric OS 7.0 or later.
NOTE
Either the initiator device or the target device must have a Advanced Performance Monitor license
configured to create an end-to-end monitor.
To configure an end-to-end monitor pair, complete the following steps.
1. Select Monitor > Performance > End-to-End Monitors.
The Set End-to-End Monitors dialog box displays.
