The Real Time option lets you view statistics in real-time mode, where statistics are updated at
a gathering interval you specify between 1 and 15 minutes.
When you select the Real Time option, use the drop-down list to select the number of recent
collections of statistics which should be displayed in the graph. You can select the number of
times from 5 or 90. This setting determines the range of recent statistics to be displayed in the
graph. For example, suppose the gathering interval is 1 minute. In this case, if you select 90
from the drop-down list, the graph displays statistics obtained in the last 90 minutes (multiplying 1
minute by 90 times).
•
In the Monitoring Data area, the drop-down list on the upper right of the list specifies the type of
statistics to be displayed in the window. To view I/O rates, select IOPS (I/Os per second) from the
drop-down list. To view transfer rates, select MB/s (megabytes per second) from the drop-down list.
•
The tree contains the Subsystem folder. Below the Subsystem folder are ports (such as
and ):
This icon indicates the attribute of the stored port is Target, or Initiator/External.
This port icon indicates either of the following:
•
A Fibre Channel port in Standard mode. LUN security is applied to this port.
If the port name is followed by its fibre address, the port is a Fibre Channel port. For example,
CL1-A(EF) indicates that the CL1-A port is a Fibre Channel port.
Note:
For detailed information about LUN security, see HP StorageWorks XP24000 LUN
Manager User’s Guide.
This port icon indicates either of the following:

When you double-click a port, the host groups ( ) that correspond to that port are displayed. The
host group ID appears on the left of the colon (:). The host group name appears on the right of the
colon. For details on host groups, see HP StorageWorks XP24000 LUN Manager User’s Guide.
When you double-click a host group, an item named LUN ( ) appears. When you select LUN,
the list on the right lists LU paths. For details on LU paths, see HP StorageWorks XP24000 LUN
Manager User’s Guide.

The list displays statistics (that is, I/O rates, transfer rates, or average response time). For details
on the list contents, see “
” on page 66 and “
•
The Draw button displays a line graph that illustrates changes in the I/O rate or the transfer rate.
The graph can display up to eight lines simultaneously.
•
The line graph illustrates changes in the I/O rate or the transfer rate. The vertical axis indicates
the I/O rate or the transfer rate. The horizontal axis indicates dates and/or times.
When the graph displays I/O rates or the transfer rates for a port controlled by an upper limit or
a threshold, the graph also displays a line that indicates the upper limit or the threshold.
When you draw a graph, use the Detail check box and the drop-down list to illustrate the desired
information, and use the Chart Y Axis Rate drop-down list to arrange the graph convenient to work.
