Auto LUN/Performance Control Base Monitor for the XP128/XP1024

If a remote copy initiator issues I/Os to an RCU target, the disk subsystem on the RCU target side does not

count the I/Os. Therefore, information about the I/Os will not be displayed in the LDEV or Port-LUN tab on

the RCU target side.

Parity group usage statistics

NOTE:

If an exclamation mark (!) appears before a usage rate, that parity group usage rate might

be inaccurate because the configuration has changed (for example, volumes have been moved by

a migration plan or changed by VSC).

2.

To display a graph illustrating changes in usage rates, click the parity groups in the table, and click

Draw.

The table displays the following items:

Graph column: The check mark icon indicates the graph is currently illustrating data for that item.

PG: Parity group ID.

RAID: RAID level (RAID-5 or RAID-1).

Drive Type: Hard disk drive type.

Usage: The Ave. (Total) column displays the average usage rate in the specified period. The Max.

column displays the maximum usage rate in the specified period.

CLPR: The number and name of the CLPR that corresponds to the parity group. For more information

about CLPRs, see the HP StorageWorks XP Disk/Cache Partition User Guide.
