Volume mount point
This parameter is for information purposes only; it is not settable using HP ESO. Volume mount
points are specialized file system objects which are used to mount and provide an entry point to
other volumes. Mount points can be created in a directory on a file system, which gives a reference
to the root directory of the mounted volume. HP ESO will show all mount points on disk with volume
mount point configured.
Drive Latency
Drive latency (often called rotational latency, rotational delay, or simply latency) is the delay waiting
for the rotation of the disk to bring the required disk sector under the read-write head. The latency
is a function of the rotational speed of the disk (or spindle motor). The latency can be improved
by increasing the rotational speed of the disks. This can also improve throughput.
Network page: Viewing and controlling network parameters and optimization
recommendations
The Network page includes controls for setting various network affinity features, including network
interface NUMA node and port affinities, Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) parameters, and Interrupt
policies. The page is divided into major sections: the NUMA Node Affinity and Interrupt Policy
section and the Port Affinity section.
Figure 49 (page 61) shows an example of a portion of the
Network page (the Port Affinity section is not visible; it is below the NUMA Node Affinity and
Interrupt Policy section.

The following subsections describe the parameters affecting network optimization.
NUMA Node Affinity and Interrupt Policy
The Numa Node Affinity and Interrupt Policy section of the Network page allows you to select
NUMA Node affinity and Interrupt Policy settings. HP ESO detects all NIC adapters connected to
the system. Each tab in this section displays the status of a NIC adapter.
Figure 50 (page 62)
shows the NUMA Node and Interrupt Policy parameter settings for a particular network interface:
