4 HP P2000 MSA Performance Tool
The HP P2000 MSA Performance Tool simplifies the monitoring of performance across multiple
HP P2000 G3 MSA System arrays. As specified for each discovered array, the tool collects current
configuration information and performance metrics in regular intervals. Data is collected for array
host ports, controllers, vdisks, volumes, and drives. Using a collection, you can graph the
performance data against different metrics, such as I/O per second and cpu load.
Information collected for each array is stored in accessible CSV files for easy export and usage
with other, third-party tools.
The Performance Tool locates and displays configuration and performance information for all HP
P2000 G3 MSA MSA arrays:
•
HP P2000 G3 Fibre Channel Modular Smart Array Controller (P2000 G3 FC MSA Controller)
•
HP P2000 G3 Fibre Channel/iSCSI Modular Smart Array Controller (P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI
