Forecasting utilization

You can forecast utilization of the following components in charts:

MP Util (%)

Write Pending (%)

DKA Util (%)

RG Util (%)

ThP Util (%)

MP Blade Util (%)

IMPORTANT:

The forecast on the MP Util (%) and DKA Util (%) are available only for the XP disk arrays.

The forecast on the MP Blade Util (%) is available only for the P9500/XP7 disk arrays.

The forecast utilization can be monitored for a day, week, month, six months, or year based on
the current data points. For example, if you have data points for a RAID group collected over two
days and you want to forecast its utilization for the next one week, HP XP7 Performance Advisor
forecasts the utilization rate based on the data collected over two days.

For an XP disk array, the forecasted utilization value for the DKA, MP, RAID group, and the
cache write pending utilization is measured against the default or threshold values that are
set on the Threshold Setting screen.

For an P9500/XP7 disk array, the forecasted utilization value for the RAID group, MP blade,
and the cache write pending utilization is measured against the default or threshold values
that are set on the Threshold Setting screen.
