HP XP P9000 for Compatible High Perf FICON Connectivity Software - Manual (Page 59)

If you add a port or host bus adapter to the storage system after the settings above, the traffics
about connections to the newly added port or host bus adapter will not be monitored. In this case,
follow the procedure above again to make all the traffics between host bus adapters and ports
monitored.
Up to 32 host bus adapters (WWNs) can be monitored for one port. If more than 32 host bus
adapters are connected to one port, the traffics about some host bus adapters will be obliged to
be excluded from the monitoring target. Consider the intended use of each host, and move the
host bus adapters that are not necessary to monitor to Non-Monitor by completing the steps in the
following section.
Excluding traffic between a host bus adapter and a port from the monitoring target
1. Click Reports > Performance Monitor> Performance Control to open the Performance Control
window.
2. Click to change to Modify mode.
3. In the Performance Control window, click Performance Control. The Performance Control main
window appears.
4. Ensure that the WWN tab is displayed.
5. Select All from the list at the top right corner of the window.
6. In the upper-left tree, double-click a port to which more than 32 host bus adapters are
connected.
7. Double-click Monitor below the specified port.
8. Right-click the WWN of a host bus adapter you want to exclude from the monitoring target
and then select Delete WWN from the pop-up menu.
NOTE:
•
If the selected host bus adapter is connected to multiple ports, when you select the host
bus adapter and select the Delete WWN pop-up menu, a message will appear that asks
you whether to move the host bus adapter from Monitor to Non-Monitor below all other
ports, too.
•
If the selected host bus adapter is contained in an PFC group, a message will appear
that tell you to delete the host bus adapter from the PFC group on ahead. You cannot
move a host bus adapter which is contained in an PFC group from Monitor to Non-Monitor.
For details on how to delete a host bus adapter from an PFC group, see
“Deleting an
HBA from an PFC group” (page 65) .
9. Click OK for the confirmation message that asks you whether to delete the host bus adapter.
The deleted host bus adapter (WWN) is moved from Monitor to Non-Monitor.
10. Click Apply in the Performance Control main window.
The settings on the window are applied to the storage system.
Analyzing traffic statistics
The traffic statistics reveal the number of I/Os that have been made via ports from HBAs. They
also reveal the amount of data that have been transferred between ports and HBAs. You must
analyze the traffic statistics to determine upper limit values that should be applied to I/O rates or
transfer rates for low-priority HBAs.
The following is the procedure for using the Performance Control main window to analyze traffic
statistics. You can also use the Performance Monitor window to analyze traffic statistics. Performance
Monitor can display a line graph that indicates changes in traffic.
1.
Click Reports > Performance Monitor> Performance Control to open the Performance Control
window.
