This appendix explains the required disk space for the performance management with ETERNUS SF Manager.
When the performance management is being performed, based on the fibre channel switch used to collect the performance information, the type of ETERNUS Disk storage system, the number of logical units involved, the number of Disk Enclosures (DEs), and the number of days for which information is to be collected, the required capacity given below becomes necessary.
Information
The default number of days for collection is seven. The number of secured Logical Units (LUs) is the actual number of LUs the functions of which are secured in order to perform performance management for the ETERNUS Disk storage systems. Performance management is secured in units of 64 LUN for the ETERNUS Disk storage systems. Therefore, when instructed to secure from LUN 15 to 200, the information for the actual LUs 0 to 255 (256 in total) would be secured.

Additionally, when performance information is output using the performance information operation command, the following disk space is required, depending on the number of LUs of ETERNUS Disk storage system and Fibre Channel switches, number of DEs, number of ports that is used to collect performance information, and number of days of performance information output.
Each element (number of installed CM CPUs, number of installed DEs, installed CA Ports, installed CM Ports, LUs, RAIDGroups, and installed FC Ports) is the number mounted in the device when the command is executed.
