If many-to-many connections are established between HBAs and ports, you should specify the priority
of I/O operations on each HBA. You can specify the upper-limit values on the non-prioritized WWNs.
If necessary, you can specify one threshold value for the entire storage system. When many-to-many
connections are established between HBAs and ports, you cannot set individual thresholds for prioritized
WWNs.
For the system configuration of many-to-many connections between HBAs and ports, see
“
If Many-to-Many Connections Link HBAs and Ports
This section describes procedures you can perform for HBAs and the entire storage system.
Monitoring All Traffic between HBAs and Ports
When many-to-many connections are established between Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and ports, be
sure that all traffic between HBAs and ports is monitored.
To monitor all traffic between HBAs and ports:
1.
Start XP Performance Control (see “
The Performance Control window is displayed.
2.
Ensure that the WWN tab is displayed (
The two trees are displayed in the left side of the WWN tab. The upper-left tree lists ports in the
storage system.
3.
Click All from the list at the top right corner of the window.
4.
In the upper-left tree, double-click a port.
5.
Double-click Non-Monitor below the specified port.
If the traffic of any HBA and the specified port are not monitored, those HBAs are displayed
below Non-Monitor.
6.
Right-click Monitor and then select Add WWN from the pop-up menu.
The Add WWN window (
on page 40) is displayed. This window lets you add a WWN
for a HBA to Monitor.
7.
In the Add WWN window, specify the WWN and the Performance Control name.
Expand the WWN list to show the WWNs of the HBAs that are connected to the port but are not
monitored. These HBAs are the same as those displayed in step
on page 39. From that list,
select a WWN and specify the Performance Control name. You can specify up to 16 characters
for an Performance Control name.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you use the nicknames of the HBAs as Performance Control names for the
convenience of HBA management.
Nicknames are aliases of HBAs defined by LUN Manager.
In the
Port-LUN tab of Performance Monitor, Performance Control names as well as nicknames
are displayed as the aliases of HBAs (WWNs) in the list. Therefore, if you specify the same
aliases, the management of the HBAs is easier.
8.
Click OK.
The selected WWN (of the HBA) is moved from Non-Monitor to Monitor.
