System
Select an MP blade from MP Blades in the component selection tree and choose the MP Blade
Util/Processing Type metric in the Available Metrics Choose Metric Category list. For more information,
see “
MP Blades navigation path ” on page 273. A stacked area graph is displayed in a separate
Utilization Metrics chart window and displays the MP blade utilization split up for the different
processing types. Each area represents the percentage of average MP blade utilization by an individual
processing type. The X-axis represents the duration that you select and the Y-axis represents the average
MP blade utilization. The chart title includes the P9000 disk array DKC number, the MP blade ID,
and the metric name for which the graph is plotted. The legends on the top right corner of the stacked
area graph help you to identify the corresponding processing types.
Figure 28 on page 302 displays a stacked area graph for the processing types served by the MPB-1MA
blade.
