NOTE:
•
It is possible that the I/O rate for a parity group or an external volume group is not equal to the
sum of the I/O rate for each volume in that group. This is because the Auto LUN window omits
fractions below the decimal point when displaying the I/O rate for each volume.
• If there is no volume in a parity group, hyphens (-) are displayed in place of performance statistics
on a parity group.
• If the CU is not the monitoring target, all items in the row are displayed in italics. To monitor those
items, specify the CU as the monitoring target by using the Monitoring Option window.
The list displays the following:
•
: When the green checkmark icon is displayed on the left of an item, the graph displays
workload statistics about the parity group, the external volume group, or the volume.
• PG: Indicates the parity group ID or the external volume group ID. If the ID starts with the letter E,
the group is an external volume group. If the ID starts with the letter V or X, the group is a V-VOL
group.
• LDEV: Indicates the volume ID. If the ID ends with the pound or gate symbol (#), the volume is an
external volume. If the ID ends with the symbol V or X, the volume is a virtual volume.
• Emulation: Indicates the emulation type.
• IO Rate: Indicates the number of I/O requests to the parity group, the external volume group, or
the volume per second.
• Read: Indicates the number of read requests to the parity group, the external volume group, or
the volume per second.
• Write: Indicates the number of write requests to the parity group, the external volume group, or
the volume per second.
• Read Hit: Indicates the read hit ratio.
• Write Hit: Indicates the write hit ratio.
• Back Trans.: Indicates the number of data transfers per second between the parity group (or the
external volume group, or the volume) and the cache memory.
• Response Time: This column indicates the time for replying from the parity group, the external
volume group, or the volume when I/O accesses are made from the host to them. The unit is milli-
seconds. The average response time in the period specified at Monitoring Term is displayed.
NOTE:
For the mainframe volume or the parity groups that contain mainframe volumes, the values of
Response Time are always 0.
• CLPR: This column indicates numbers and names of CLPRs corresponding to each parity group,
external volume group, or volume in the format CLPR-number:CLPR-name. For details on CLPRs,
see HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Disk/Cache Partition User Guide.
Viewing Transfer Rates for Disks
Performance Monitor audits hard disk drives and measures transfer rates (that is, the size of data
transferred in one second).
