Basic performance graphs (Continued)

TABLE 14

Graph type

Display description

Switch Aggregate
Throughput

The aggregate performance of all ports on a switch.

Blade Aggregate
Throughput

The aggregate performance of all ports on a port card. This graph is available only for
the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms.

Switch Throughput
Utilization

The port throughput, in Gbps at the time the sample is taken. For the Brocade DCX
and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, this graph displays the throughput for each
slot. You can customize this graph to display information for particular ports.

Port Error

CRC errors for a given port.

Switch Percent Utilization The percentage utilization for each port in a switch. For the Brocade DCX, this graph

displays the percent utilization for each slot. You can customize this graph to display
information for particular ports.

Port Snapshot Error

The CRC error count between sampling periods for all the ports on a switch. For the
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, this graph displays the CRC
error rate for each slot. You can customize this graph to display information for
particular ports.

The following table lists the advanced monitoring graphs available.

TABLE 15

Graph type

Display description

SID/DID Performance

The traffic between the SID-DID pair on the switch being managed. The member
selection list in the LHS displays the port in the current switch only. The All Devices
tab lists all the devices in the fabric. SID/DID Performance can be used to select the
source and destination. For more information, refer to

Creating SID/DID

Performance graphs

on page 133.

SCSI vs. IP Traffic

The percentage of SCSI versus IP frame traffic on each individual port. For more
information, refer to

Creating the SCSI vs. IP Traffic graph

on page 134.

SCSI Commands by port
and LUN (R, W, R/W)

The total number of read/write commands on a given port to a specific LUN. For
more information, refer to

Creating SCSI command graphs

on page 134.

The following table lists each graph and indicates the supported port types for each graph. The port
selection columns for each graph displays the supported ports.
