5 Monitoring operations in a SAN
environment
This module describes how to monitor operations in a Storage Area Network (SAN).
Viewing information summaries
This module describes how to view summary information for registered storage systems and hosts.
About the dashboard
The P9000 Command View AE Suite dashboard shows a summary of tasks, alerts, and activities of
registered storage systems.
• Storage System Alerts
A list of links for each registered storage system and the associated alerts.
• Datacenter Utilization
A bar chart that provides volume capacity information for Open-Allocated, Open-Unallocated,
Open-Reserved, Mainframe, and Free. This chart applies to all of the managed storage systems,
collectively. Because capacities are calculated based on actual volume capacities, the capacity
of virtual volumes, such as THP volumes, is not included.
• Failed Tasks
A list of links for each failed user-executed task. Each item includes the task name, task type, and
a description.
• Top 10 Consumers
A list of links for each of the ten hosts with the highest allocated storage capacity.
• Tier Residency
A chart checking the usage of hardware tiers for each logical group. You can compare the oper-
ating information of a logical group and the usage of hardware tiers by checking whether the
hardware tiers for the logical group are configured appropriately. You can also select logical
groups whose configuration is to be displayed. By clicking the icon at the upper right, users
can configure logical groups that display the usage status of hardware tiers.
Accessing the dashboard
Any user can access the dashboard by logging in to P9000 Command View AE Suite.
When you log in to P9000 Command View AE Suite, the dashboard appears or you can click the
Dashboard tab later to see information related to the managed storage systems, including the status
of alerts and tasks, and resource usage.
