Statistics

15.1 Overview

StorView and the RAID Controller will monitor all incoming commands and calculate various statistics.
The statistics monitored include:

• Command Count
• Command Alignment
• Command Size
• Read-Ahead Statistics
• Write Clustering Statistics
• RAID 5/50/6 Write Statistics

From the Main screen click the

Logical Drive Statistics

icon in the Tool Bar.

The controller maintains individual access statistics for all logical drives, controllers, and individual or all
ports. These can be used to help balance the load from the host.

You may also export the statistical data to a comma delimited file for use in third-party software products.
