A.10 Explanation of the Configuration Settings File

The configuration file of devices targeted by the performance management function can be configured by editing the configuration settings file.

The following devices can be customized:

Fibre Channel switches and Fibre Channel switchblades that support performance monitoring
(except for the ETERNUS SN200 MDS series)

Reflecting the file

If the file has been changed, then either start performance monitoring of targeted devices, or reactivate the Manager.
This will reflect the contents of the file to this product.

Customization

Note

To restore the contents, the configuration file must be updated. For details, refer to "7.2.9 Updating configuration information".

File path and name

A separate configuration settings file must be created for each device for which you want to change the configuration file.

Manager OS	Absolute path name
Windows	$ENV_DIR\ESC\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVssmgr\current\perfconf\IP address.xml where $ENV_DIR is the "environment directory" specified during Manager installation.
Solaris OS Linux	/etc/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/perfconf/IP address.xml

The file name is the IP address set for the device with each "." of the IP address replaced by a "_".

Example

If the IP address is 10.20.30.40:

10_20_30_40.xml

port-baud-rate-X

Specify the port number in the X part of the property name (port-baud-rate-X).

Specify a port transfer rate value between 0 and 25 (Unit: Gbps).

Note

Performance monitoring and threshold value monitoring cannot be used if 0 is set as the transfer rate of the port.
The graph display function cannot be used if 0 is set as the transfer rate of the port.
When the performance values are displayed as a graph, 0 is displayed as the performance value for intervals in which 0 is set as the transfer rate.
If the specified transfer rate is invalid range, then the following values are displayed:
Transfer rate
Explanation
Less than 0
0Gbps is set.
Greater than 25
25Gbps is set.

Transfer rate	Explanation
Less than 0	0Gbps is set.
Greater than 25	25Gbps is set.

Example

Setting 8Gbps as the transfer rate for Ports 1 and 2

port-baud-rate-1=8
port-baud-rate-2=8

Point

The maximum transfer rate for the VE port of the Fibre Channel switch is set to the default of 1Gbps.

If the FCIP trunking function or the FCIP data compression function are enabled and a transfer quantity of 1Gbps or more occurs for the VE port, then you must change the VE port transfer rate.

Use the formula below to calculate the transfer rate:

Transfer rate = Compression ratio set for the VE port * Total bandwidth set for the VE port

Example

Method for calculating the transfer rate of VE ports

For the environment below:

Compression ratio (4:1)

Four FCIP circuits each with a bandwidth of 0.5Gbps set for the VE port

Transfer rate = Compression ratio (4:1) * Total bandwidth (0.5Gbps * 4 circuits)
           = 4 * (0.5 * 4)
           = 8(Gbps)
