NOTE:

If an array is connected to a host agent that is

running on HPUX-11.31 operating system, the

DSF (device special file) is displayed in a new

format. A legacy DSF is displayed in parenthesis

next to the new format.

DFW Normal Count

Disk Fast Write Normal Count. These are counts

relevant to mainframe volumes. This field is zero

when the emulation type starts with OPEN.

DFW Sequential Count

The number of sequential reads transferred to the

backend on the LDEV.

Backend Transfer Sequential Reads

The number of non-sequential reads transferred to the

backend on the LDEV.

Backend Transfer Non-Sequential Reads

Disk Fast Write count. Counts that are relevant only

to mainframe volumes. These fields are zeros when

the emulation type starts with OPEN.

Emulation

An array group is divided into open volumes of equal

size. These volumes are referred to as emulation

types. If PA XP cannot determine the emulation

type, an error appears. The error does not affect

performance data collection.

The emulation type is displayed as "Not Known"

for emulations that start with "OPEN-XP".

E-LDEV

The external LUN LDEV ID on the external array.

Ext-Lun

Indicates that the LDEV is an Ext-Lun. The following

options are available:- (hyphen) = Normal LUN E =

Ext-Lun P = Ext-Lun provider (this LDEV is used as an

Ext-Lun for another array)

A list of Ext-Lun initiator ports (ports used to connect

to an external array).

E-Seq

The Ext-Lun provider’s serial number for the array.

Host ID (Host identifier)

The name of the host machine. PA XP discovers

LDEV-to-CHIP port connectivity. Unknown is displayed

When using mainframe LDEVs, use the userhostcfg

CLUI to add mainframe hosts.
