17 Performance Estimator
Introduction
Use the Performance Estimator screen to determine the optimal performance of your arrays based on
the loads that you specify by configuring the RAID groups. Subsystem configuration parameters can
be rapidly entered, and the results are accurate to within 20%. Performance Estimator focuses on RAID
groups, rather than on LDEVs or LUNs.
NOTE:
Performance Estimator does not support the XP10000/XP12000/SVS200/XP24000 array.
CAUTION:
The numbers displayed are only an estimate. Results shown are based on readings taken in a controlled
environment. HP cannot guarantee the results in your data center.
Once data collection is done for an array, the fields in the Performance Estimator screen are populated,
as shown in Performance Estimator XP 128/1024 and Performance Estimator XP 256/512/48 .
