SAN performance overview
NOTE
SAN performance is only supported on Fabric OS devices.
Performance monitoring provides details about the quantity of traffic and errors that a specific port
or device generates on the fabric over a specific time. You can also use performance monitoring to
indicate the devices that create the most traffic and identify the ports that are most congested.
Performance monitoring allows you to monitor your SAN using the following methods (requires a
Licensed version):
• Gather and display real-time performance data (Switch Ports - FC, Switch Ports - GE, Switch
Ports - 10 GE, ISL Ports, E_Port Trunks, end-to-end Monitors, FCIP Tunnels, device Ports,
managed HBA Ports, and managed CNA Ports).
The Professional version only allows you to monitor your SAN by gathering and displaying
real-time performance data (Switch Ports - FC, Switch Ports - GE, Switch Ports - 10GE, ISL
Ports, E_Port Trunks, end-to-end Monitors, FCIP Tunnels, device Ports, managed HBA Ports,
managed CNA Ports).
• Create custom port and time data filters for historical performance data that can be saved as a
favorite.
• Provide enhanced performance reports.
