Use Performance Monitor to Monitor HBAs
Use HP NAS 8000 Performance Monitor to:

■ Observe Data Path Performance .
Note: Performance Monitor can show HBA, NFS, and CPU performance, depending
on what you enable. Information presented here is for HBA monitoring only. NFS and
CPU performance monitoring are discussed in the HP NAS 8000 User’s Guide.
View and Change Performance Monitor Settings
Performance Monitor defaults to the disabled state. Metrics are not received and
no performance history is recorded. You can enable Performance Monitor to
receive data every 5 seconds for a particular HBA, and choose whether to
maintain the performance history for an enabled HBA.
To access and enable Performance Monitor:
1. From Command View NAS menu bar, select Tools > Performance Monitor.
This opens a new window.
2. Select HBAs (not a specific HBA) from the tree in the left panel. ( Figure 3
shows the Performance Monitor window and a sample tree.)
