NOTE:

It is recommended that you specify the same names for the PFC names and the host

adapter nicknames defined in LUN Manager for convenience of host adapter management.
In the Performance Monitor window, both the PFC names and the nicknames are displayed
as the aliases of host adapters (WWNs), so if you use the same names, management of the
host adapters is easier.

11. Click OK. The selected WWN (of the host adapter) is moved from Non-Monitor to Monitor.

If the specified host adapter is connected to other ports, after clicking OK, a message appears
asking whether to change the settings of that host adapter for other ports. Apply the same
setting to all of the ports.

12. Repeat steps 8 to 11 to move all host adapters from below Non-Monitor to below Monitor.

Up to 32 host adapters (WWNs) can be monitored for one port. If more than 32 host adapters
are connected to one port, the traffic statistics for all host adapters cannot be monitored.
Consider the intended use of each host, and place the host adapters that do not need to be
monitored below Non-Monitor.

NOTE:

When you disconnect a host that has been connected via a cable to your storage

system or change the port to the another port of the host, the WWN for the host will remain
in the WWN list on the WWN tab. To remove the WWN from the list, you need to delete
the WWN using LUN Manager. For details, see the HP XP7 Provisioning for Open Systems
User Guide.

13. In the Performance Control main window click Apply to apply the settings to the storage system.
14. If you add a port or a host adapter to the storage system after the settings above, the traffic

for the new port or host adapter will not be monitored. In this case, follow this procedure
again to make sure all traffic between host adapters and ports is being monitored.

Non-Monitor.
