This software supports performance management functionality for fibre channel switch and ETERNUS disk storage systems. This functionality enables users to get details about the operation and load statuses of devices. However, this software does not support performance management functionality in relation to the ETERNUS disk storage system main frame volume, MVV, SDV, Thin Provisioning Volume and RAID Group used by Thin Provisioning Pool.
Additionally, by knowing the number of active disks, it is possible to verify the Eco-mode status of the ETERNUS disk storage system.
The performance information can be referenced using Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator. However, some performance information is not supported. For details, refer to the Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator manual.
See
For details about supported devices, refer to "1.3.7 Support levels".
Note
Do not execute performance monitoring for a single device from more than one administrative server(*) at the same time.
* The Softek Storage Cruiser administrative servers, the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser administrative servers or the Systemwalker Resource Coordinator administrative servers
The performance management functionality always starts up when the administrative server starts up. For devices in which performance management settings have been configured, performance information collection starts in the background. Accordingly, performance information is collected regardless of whether GUI window display. To stop performance information collection, execute performance management stop processing.
