HP XP P9000 for Compatible High Perf FICON Connectivity Software - Manual (Page 63)

If many-to-many connections are established between host bus adapters and storage system ports,
you can set one threshold value for the entire storage system. In this environment, you cannot set
individual threshold values for each prioritized WWN.
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. Select the WWN tab.
5. Select the All Thresholds check box.
6. Select IOPS or MB/s from the All Thresholds list, and do one of the following:
•
To specify the threshold value by using the I/O rate, select IOPS from the list below the
check box.
•
To specify the threshold value by using the transfer rate, select MB/s from the list below
the check box.
Even if the types of rates differ between the upper limit values and the threshold value,
the threshold control is effective for all the non-prioritized WWNs.
7. Enter the threshold in the text box of All Thresholds.
8. Click Apply.
The settings in the window are applied to the storage system.
Changing the PFC name of a host bus adapter
Use the Performance Control main window to assign an PFC name to a host bus adapter (HBA).
Although you can identify HBAs by WWNs (Worldwide Names), you will be able to identify HBAs
more easily if you assign PFC names. WWNs are 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and cannot be
changed. However, PFC names should not necessarily be 16-digit hexadecimal numbers and can
be changed.
The following is the procedure for changing an already assigned PFC name. For details on how
to assign an PFC name, see
“Monitoring all traffic between HBAs and ports” (page 57) .
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. In the upper-left tree, select a host bus adapter ( ) from below Monitor and then right-click
the selection.
6. From the pop-up menu, select Change WWN and PFC Name. The Change WWN and PFC
Name window opens.
