Column

Lowest recorded sample value of the last 100 samples.

Minimum

Highest recorded sample value of the last 100 samples.

Maximum

Average of the last 100 recorded sample values.

Average

Scaling factor used to fit the data on the graph’s 0 to 100 scale. Only the line on the graph is

Understanding the performance statistics

You can select the performance statistics that you want to monitor.

For clusters, volumes, and snapshots, the reported statistics are based on client IO. This is the iSCSI
and Fibre Channel traffic and does not include other traffic such as replication, remote snapshots,
and management functions.

For storage systems and devices, the statistics report the total traffic, including iSCSI and Fibre
Channel traffic along with replication, remote snapshots, and management functions.

The difference between what the cluster, volumes, and snapshots are reporting and what the storage
systems and devices are reporting is the overhead (replication, remote snapshots, and management
functions).
