In addition, the average usage summary for components is also derived from the set threshold duration
and verified against the threshold limits set for metrics in the particular category. Thereafter, the
statistics are displayed on the Dashboard screen.
IMPORTANT:
•
The threshold duration is the period during which P9000 Performance Advisor monitors the point
in time and average usage of components, and determines the overall health of the XP or the
P9000 disk array.
•
The average usage of components is monitored for those categories where threshold limits are
set for the corresponding metrics.
You can plot the usage graphs for components in the Chart Work Area and view the X busiest
components in the Component Information section of the Dashboard screen.
For more information on the sections in the Dashboard screen, see “
