Selecting data for the usage monitor graph

The usage monitor graph plots I/O data that you specify. In the graph:

The x-axis indicates time.

The y-axis indicates the number of I/Os during the sampling period.

The legend on the right side shows the data being displayed.

The value on the y-axis varies according to the maximum value of the statistical data appearing
in the graph. If the y-axis value exceeds 10,000,000, the value is shown in exponential notation
(for example, 1E7 = 1×107 = 10,000,000; 2E8 = 2×108 = 200,000,000).

Procedure 16 To specify I/O data to be graphed

1.

Make sure that usage monitoring is running (Monitoring Switch = Enable). The usage monitor
graph can be viewed only when monitoring is on.
