Reports for logical groups displayed in the Mobility tab
Several reports are available on a logical group basis for monitoring performance related items such
as response time and unused capacity.
You can display one of the following ranking reports for a logical group in the Mobility tab by selecting
a top folder of the Public or Private folder, and a top-level folder for each user group under the Private
Logical Group folder:
•
Bottom 10: Logical Groups with High Response Time
Checks for logical groups including volumes whose response time is slow. Used to determine lo-
gical groups which do not satisfy required performances. This ranking is displayed only when you
have the license for HP XP7 Performance Advisor.
•
Top 10: Logical Groups with Lowest Unused Capacity
Checks for logical groups that have little unused capacity left for the allocated THP/Smart volumes.
Used to determine logical groups which do not have enough capacity.
•
Top 10: Logical Group Used Capacity by Drive Types
Checks for logical groups that use a large amount of capacity by drive type. Used to determine
whether an unexpected volume is occupying a high-speed drive or logical groups which have in-
valid data arrangements.
The following summary information is displayed when each logical group is selected:
•
Summary
Provides summarized information in a list, such as the number of volumes and the total capacity
of a logical group, or the last update date. Based on this information, you can review the usage
status of the storage resources in the logical group.
•
Drive Type Summary
Checks whether the logical group has the necessary capacity. Checks the total capacity of the
volumes and the used capacity of each drive type within the logical group.
•
Drive Type Distribution
Checks how many of each drive type is used for each THP/Smart pool that is included in a logical
group. Used to check whether the configuration of the hardware tier is appropriate.
