Usage Monitor Operations

Use the Usage Monitor window to perform the remote copy usage monitoring operations for the connected

disk array. The remote copy usage monitoring function can collect I/O statistics for all LDEVs on the

connected disk array.

Starting and Stopping Monitoring

At each data sampling time interval, the usage monitoring function collects 480 pieces of data for each

LDEV and up to 16,385 pieces of data for the entire disk array.

To start monitoring:

1.

From the Usage Monitor window, enter the sampling time interval in minute(s) in the Rate list. You can

enter from 1 to 546 minutes. Entering more than five minutes is recommended.

2.

Click Run in the Operation list.

3.

Click Apply.

The collection of monitoring data continues, even if the window is closed, until you stop monitoring

operations. Monitoring data collection continues even if the SVP is rebooted. If a monitor starts, the data of

the sidefile usage is stored.

To stop monitoring:

1.

From the Usage Monitor window, click Stop in the Operation list.

2.

Click Apply. The monitoring process is stopped.

Displaying the Usage Monitor Graph

When usage monitoring is running, the Usage Operations window can display user-selected remote copy

I/O statistics in real time. The I/O statistics data is collected according to the data-sampling rate selected

in the Rate list.
The usage monitor graph plots the user-selected I/O statistics (up to 65 data points) on an x-y graph. The

x-axis displays time and the y-axis displays the number of I/Os during the last sampling period. The legend

is displayed on the right side of the graph. When the value for y-axis exceeds 10,000,000, the value is

displayed in exponential notation. For example, 1E7 = 1*10

7

= 10,000,000; 2E8 = 2*10

8

=

200,000,000. The Update box displays the most recent data sample time for the data graph.

To display the usage monitor graph:

1.

Verify that the usage monitoring is running. Status should be Running.
