SAN end-to-end monitoring
28
Before you apply end-to-end monitoring to ports moved to the Monitored Pairs list the Status
column displays “Not Configured.” When you Apply the monitored pair, the Status column
displays “Enabled”. If the end-to-end monitored pair fails, the Status column displays
“Failed:Reason”.
NOTE
If the initiator or target port is part of a logical switch and you move it to another logical switch,
the end-to-end monitor fails.
Once you have created the end-to-end monitored pair, you can view both real-time and
historical performance data. For step-by-step instructions, refer to
“Displaying end-to-end
monitor pairs in a real-time graph” on page 1093 or “Displaying end-to-end monitor pairs in a
historical graph” on page 1093.
