Right-click the WWN of a host adapter you want to exclude from the monitoring target and
then select Delete WWN from the pop-up menu.

If the selected host adapter is connected to multiple ports, when you select the host adapter

If the selected host adapter is contained in a PFC group, a message will appear that tells you
to delete the host adapter from the PFC group on ahead. You cannot move a host adapter
that is contained in a PFC group from Monitor to Non-Monitor. For details on how to delete
a host adapter from a PFC group, see

“Deleting an HBA from a PFC group” (page 67)

Analyzing traffic statistics: many-to-many connections

The traffic statistics indicate the number of I/Os via ports from HBAs and the amount of data that
has been transferred between ports and HBAs. You must analyze the traffic statistics to determine
the upper limit values that should be applied to I/O rates or transfer rates for low-priority HBAs.

The following procedure uses the Performance Control main window to analyze traffic statistics.
You can also use the Performance Monitor window to analyze traffic statistics and display a line
graph that shows the changes in traffic.
