SAN Top Talker monitoring
28
NOTE
If the Fabric OS device is configured for Fibre Channel routing (FCR), you can only configure a Top
Talker monitor on the following devices:
- 16 Gbps Backbone Chassis with a FC 16 Gbps 32-port or 48-port blade
- 16 Gbps 48-port switch
Configuring a fabric mode Top Talker monitor
Procedures in this section pertain to configuring the legacy Top Talkers feature instead of using
Flow Vision.
For systems using Fabric OS version 7.2 or later, when you select a device or device port, and then
select Monitor > Performance > Top Talkers, a message displays that you can use Flow Vision to
provide Top Talkers monitoring. You have these options:
•
To use Flow Vision, delete existing monitors, then use the Add Flow Definition dialog box to
define an initiator and target port pair for monitoring. Refer to
Chapter 29, “Flow Vision”
for
more information.
•
Clicking OK opens the legacy Top Talkers dialog box. To use the legacy Top Talkers feature, you
must deactivate existing flows defined for the switch for Flow Vision.
Here are some important notes for using this feature.
NOTE
A fabric mode Top Talker and an end-to-end monitor cannot be configured on the same fabric. You
must delete the end-to-end monitor before you configure the fabric mode Top Talker.
NOTE
A fabric mode Top Talker and an F_Port mode Top Talker cannot be configured on the same fabric.
You must delete the F_Port mode Top Talker before you configure the fabric mode Top Talker.
NOTE
You cannot enable Top Talkers for a single-switch fabric.
To configure a fabric mode Top Talker monitor on systems using Fabric OS before v7.2, complete
the following steps.
1. Select the fabric on which you want to monitor Top Talker data.
NOTE
On the 8 Gbps 8-FC port, 10 GbE 24-DCB port Switch, Top Talkers is only supported on the
8 Gbps FC Ports.
2. Select Monitor > Performance > Top Talkers.
The Top Talker Selector dialog box displays, as shown in
Figure 481
on page 1097.
