Performance Control Export Tool

If you specify the nocompress operand for the option subcommand, the Export Tool saves files in

CSV format instead of ZIP format (for detailed information, see

The option subcommand

” on

page 74). Note that, when files are saved in CSV format instead of ZIP format, the file-saving process

would take longer and the resulting files would be larger.

Files saved by the Export Tool are often very large. The total file size for all the files can be as large as

approximately 2 GB. For this reason, the exporting process might take a long time (see

Table 20

). If

you want to export statistics spanning a long period of time, it is recommended that you use the Export

Tool more than one time, rather than using the tool only one time to export the whole statistics. For

example, if you want to export statistics spanning 24 hours, you could run the Export Tool eight times;

each time you run the Export Tool, the tool should export statistics spanning three hours.

Estimated time

Remarks

Port

5 minutes

This estimate assumes that the Export Tool should save statistics about

128 ports within a 24-hour period.

PortWWN

5 minutes

This estimate assumes that the Export Tool should save statistics about

128 ports within a 24-hour period.

PPCG

5 minutes

This estimate assumes:

There are eight SPM groups, and eight WWNs are registered on each

SPM group.

There is a WWN that is not registered on any SPM group.

The Export Tool should save statistics about SPM groups and WWNs

described above within a 24-hour period.

LDEV

60 minutes

This estimate assumes:

The Export Tool should save statistics about 8,192 logical volumes

within a 24-hour period.

The Export Tool is used eight times. Each time the Export Tool is used,

the tool obtains statistics within a 3-hour period.

LU

60 minutes

This estimate assumes:

The Export Tool should save statistics about 12,288 LUs within a

24-hour period.

The Export Tool is used eight times. Each time the Export Tool is used,

the tool obtains statistics within a 3-hour period.
