Viewing Usage Statistics about Channel Processors (CHPs)

Performance Monitor monitors channel processors in each channel adapter and displays statistics
about the average and the maximum usage rate in a specified period. Performance Monitor also
displays a graph that illustrates changes in channel processor usage within that period.

To view usage statistics about channel processors:

1.

Ensure that the Auto LUN window is displayed.

2.

In the tree, click the Physical tab.

3.

In the list above the tree, select the storing period of statistics from longrange and shortrange for
display.
For details on the types of storing period of statistics, see

When you view usage statistics about channel processors, the items displayed in the list by se-
lecting longrange and shortrange are the same.

The list on the right displays usage statistics about the channel processors. The displayed statistics
are the average and the maximum usage rates for the period specified in the From and To boxes.

NOTE:

Monitor recalculates usage rates and updates information in the list. To change the date and
