Chapter 1 Overview of Performance Monitoring Function

I-27

host director ports

disk director ports

logical disks

physical disks

RANKs

Analysis of the Performance Summary Report provides understanding of general load status in the entire disk array

and each component of the statistic information collection period.

(ii)

Performance Detail Report

The Performance Detail Report summarizes the following statistic information per statistic information logging

Interval of the iSM and is assigned chronologically:

whole disk array

host director ports

disk director ports

logical disks

physical disks

RANKs

Analysis of the Performance Detail Report provides understanding of chronological change in the load status of the

entire disk array and each component as well as detection of a performance bottleneck.

The Performance Detail Report has six types of report:

detailed report on the whole disk array

detailed report on host director ports

detailed report on disk director ports

detailed report on logical disks

detailed report on physical disks

detailed report on RANKs

The Performance Report Editor creates a Performance Report in accordance with the following naming rule:

When input is a statistic information history file (xxxxxx.psl):

xxxxxx_psl_edit type.txt

When input is a statistic information summarized file (xxxxxx.psa):

xxxxxx_psa_edit type.txt

One of the following strings is set in the “edit type” depending on the type of Performance Report:

sum: summary

report

array:

detailed report on the whole disk array

hp:

detailed report on host director ports

dp:

detailed report on disk director ports

ld:

detailed report on logical disks

pd:

detailed report on physical disks

rank:
