SAN performance overview
43
The Professional version only allows you to monitor your SAN by gathering and displaying
real-time performance data (Switch Ports - FC, Switch Ports - GE, Switch Ports - 10GE, ISL
Ports, E_Port Trunks, end-to-end Monitors, FCIP Tunnels, device Ports, managed HBA Ports,
managed CNA Ports).
• Persist and display historical performance data (Switch Ports - FC ports, ISL ports, device
Ports, FCIP tunnels, SFP, and Switch Ports - 10 GE Ports) for selected fabrics or the entire SAN.
• Create custom port and time data filters for historical performance data that can be saved as a
favorite.
• Support end-to-end monitors for real-time and historical performance data.
• Enforce user-defined performance thresholds and notification when thresholds are exceeded.
• Display “insufficient resources” message when the is busy and you request performance
statistics.
• Display percentage utilization for FC and FCIP links.
• Select a granularity for collecting data:
- 5 minutes for last 8 days.
- 30 minutes granularity for last 14 days
- 2 hour granularity for last 30 days
- 1 day granularity for last 730 days.
• Provide enhanced performance reports.
SAN performance measures
Performance measures enable you to select one or more measures to define the graph or report.
The measures available to you depend on the object type from which you want to gather
performance data.
NOTE
Devices with 10GE ports must be running Fabric OS 6.4.1 or later to obtain the correct TE_Port
statistics (TX/RX).
NOTE
Devices with 10GE ports must have the RMON MIB enabled on the switch. For more information
about the rmon collection command, refer to the Fabric OS Converged Enhanced Ethernet
Command Reference.
You can define a report or graph for the following performance data:
• Current — Available in mAmps for installed SFPs.
• Rx Power — Available in dBm for installed SFPs.
• Tx Power — Available in dBm for installed SFPs.
• Temperature — Available in Centigrade for installed SFPs.
• Voltage — Available in mVolts for installed SFPs.
• Tx % Utilization — Available for FC, GE, managed HBA ports, managed CNA ports, E_port trunks,
10GE ports, and FCIP tunnels.
• Rx % Utilization — Available for FC, GE, managed HBA ports, managed CNA ports, 10GE ports,
E_port trunks, and FCIP tunnels.
