HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 67)

NOTE: Insight Control performance management does not accurately report the negotiated PCI bus protocol
when unknown PCI devices with slower transfer rates than the controller are configured on the same bus.
PCI Bus Inventory
•
PCI Support—Displays the supported and negotiated PCI protocol (bus and speed)
•
PCI Devices—Lists the PCI bus slots and any I/O expansion boards installed in the slots
Static analysis
The following configuration information is gathered by hardware discovery and analyzed by performance
management to display the performance status of server components:
•
Processors—For example, a mix of processors with different cache sizes
•
Memory
•
Network connections—For example, the ability to detect a NIC running at reduced speed or in half
duplex mode
•
Host buses—For example:
Bus overloading
•
•
Too many I/O resources plugged into the same bus on a multi-bus server
•
Storage—For example:
•
A fast physical disk drive plugged into an enclosure that cannot support the maximum I/O
capabilities of the drive
•
A slow physical drive plugged into a fast enclosure
•
A RAID consisting of a mix of drive speeds
•
A RAID consisting of a mix of drive capacities
