Appendix D Estimation of NEC Storage
PerformanceMonitor File Size
The size of a statistic information history file and a statistic information summarized file can be
estimated by applying the number of disk array components (the number of host ports (HPs), disk
ports (DPs), logical disks (LDs), physical disks (PDs), replication directors (RDs) number of
cache (CACHE), and RANKs), the storage period of statistic information, and logging Interval
time to the following equations:
The size of the statistic information history file (byte) = A + (B
×
(Statistic information storage
period (second)
÷
Logging Interval time (second)))
A = 272 + (Number of HPs

m: A value obtained by calculating h by each RANK according to the following equations
and summing up the individual values of all the RANKs
h = 32 + i + j
When the quotient of ((Number of LDs in a RANK

n:
A value calculated in the same manner as for m to determine the size of the
statistic information history file
D = 80 + (Number of HPs

Moreover, the file size calculated by the equations above assumes a general case. If the
configuration or logical disk name is changed or a logical disk is transferred during the statistic
information accumulation period, the actual file size becomes larger than the calculated size.
