1.4 Monitor Storage, Configurations

You may determine the performance of drives in the Fusion
RX1600Fibre or attached RX1600 Expansion systems using various
displays and tests in the Sonnet Web Management Tool.

The following instructions assume you have already set up at
least one RAID group. The ATTO FastStream controller in the
RX1600Fibre collects various metrics to measure performance
for physical drives during normal system operation and drive
initialization and verification.

Note: New performance data is updated every 60 seconds which

impacts performance slightly, even if you minimize the browser
window. Exit the Sonnet Web Management Tool completely
whenever you need maximum performance.

SCSI Enclosure Services (SES)

Fusion RX1600Fibre and Fusion RX1600 expansion enclosures
feature a SCSI Enclosure Processor which indicates enclosure health
status, drive identification and drive fault identification.

Use SES to identify individual drives, all the drives in the same
enclosure, all the drives in a single RAID group, or faulted drives.
Clicking

Details in the Enclosure Status section on the Health

and Status Monitor page brings up the SES Monitor page. Refer to
SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) on page 27.
