Monitoring Hard Disk Drives

The LDEV tab of the Auto LUN window lets you check workloads on physical hard disk drives (parity

groups) or on volumes. The LDEV tab displays the I/O rate and the transfer rate. The I/O rate indicates

the number of disk I/Os per second. The transfer rate indicates the size of data transferred to the

disk in one second.
In addition, the LDEV tab displays the read hit ratio and the write hit ratio. For a read I/O, when the

requested data is already in cache, the operation is classified as a read hit. For a write I/O, when the

requested data is already in cache, the operation is classified as a write hit.
