When the performance information reservation command is issued from the Main View, Domain view or SAN view for devices from which performance information is to be obtained, the performance management part of this software uses SNMP to obtain performance information from the devices and saves the obtained information on the Management Server. The information can be displayed and managed in the Web Console.
Performance control functionality supports the Fibre Channel switch and ETERNUS Disk storage systems. This function can be used to obtain the detailed operational status and load status of a device. Additionally, by knowing the number of active disks, it is possible to verify the Eco-mode status of the ETERNUS Disk storage system.
In addition, a threshold can be set for particular information. The function can detect a potential bottleneck and be used to address the problem.
The performance information can be referenced using Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator. For details, refer to the Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator manual.
