Custom groups navigation path

The Custom Groups node comprises of individual custom groups that display the associated LDEVs.
Following is the component selection path:

•

Custom Groups > Individual custom group > LDEVs (component type) > Individual LDEVs

The

serial numbers of the XP and the XP7 disk arrays to which the LDEVs belong are also

mentioned

in brackets beside the LDEV IDs. You can create a custom group that has multiple

LDEVs

from different XP and XP7 disk arrays. For more information on creating custom groups,

see

“Creating

custom groups” (page 84)

In the above image, CG_1_CG is one of the custom groups that is selected. The number (5) besides
the LDEVs component type indicates the total number of LDEVs grouped in CG_1_CG. The LDEVs
1:7A, 1:7C, and 1:7B display 30064 and the LDEV 9:67 displays 82502 beside their LDEV IDs.
It implies that these LDEVs are grouped from the XP disk arrays 30064 or 82502 under the
CG_1_CG custom group.

The metrics associated with the resources types and components for the selected custom group are
displayed in the Available Metrics Choose Metric Category list. Select the metrics at the component
type or the individual component levels, or both and view the related performance graphs in the
Chart Work Area. For a description of these metrics, see

“Metric Category, metrics, and

descriptions” (page 386)

The

following table provides the default set of metric categories that are displayed in the
