HP P6000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 115)

Each chart that you add can be associated with only one category. All or a few of the counter
categories will be supported for your storage system, object type, or performance object: For more
information on supported categories, see
Table 1 (page 23) .
IMPORTANT: If data from a storage system is being collected at 30-second intervals, a total of
400 data points will be collected in a 3-hour and 20-minute period. So, if you plot a chart for 3
hours and 20 minutes or less, all data samples collected are plotted, but if you want to view data
for any duration more than 3 hours and 20 minutes, one data sample is displayed for every hour,
which are average of all the data samples collected for every hour. In such cases, if statistical table
is also displayed, it might not match with the chart data samples. To understand how the aggregated
values are calculated, refer to the first two list items in the important note provided for Key Metrics
(see
“Key Metrics” (page 20) ).
