Starting monitoring
To start monitoring the storage system, start Performance Monitor and open the Edit Monitoring
Switch window. If this operation is performed, the monitoring result will be deleted.
1.
Display the Remote Web Console main window.
2. Select Performance Monitor in Explorer, and select Performance Monitor in the tree.
The Performance Monitor window opens.
3. Click Edit Monitoring Switch in the Performance Monitor window.
The Edit Monitoring Switch window opens.
4. Click Enable in the Monitoring Switch field.
5. Select the collecting interval in the Sample Interval.
Specify the interval to obtain usage statistics about the storage system for short range
monitoring. This option is activated when you specify Enable for Current Status. If CUs to be
monitored are 64 or less, you can specify the value between 1 and 15 minutes by minutes,
and the default setting is 1 minute. For example, if you specify 1 minute for the gathering
interval, Performance Monitor collect statistics (for example, I/O rates and transfer rates) every
one minute.
If CUs to be monitored are 65 or more, the gathering interval can be specified to the value
5, 10 or 15 minutes (in the 5 minuted interval), and default is 5 minutes. For example, if you
specify the gathering interval to 5 minutes, Performance Monitor gathers statistics (for example,
I/O rate and transfer rate) every 5 minutes.

7. Click Apply in the Confirm window.
A warning message appears, asking whether you continue this operation although graph

When statistics are collected, a heavy workload is likely to be placed on servers. Therefore,
the client processing might slow down.
