Viewing port summary

To

view the summary of overall utilization of ports for an XP or an XP7 disk array, click Port

Summary

in the component selection tree for that XP or XP7 disk array. This feature totals the

LDEV

I/Os, LDEV MB/s, cache fast write, disk fast write, cache bypass, and backend transfer

values

for all of the LDEVs on a given port.

IMPORTANT:

When you request a port summary report, the total I/Os displayed may not be

equal to the sum of the I/Os across each of the ports. This can occur if multiple paths to an LDEV
exist. The port IO summary indicates the IO ceiling values across the ports. It does not indicate the
absolute or accurate I/O rates across the ports.

Click a CHP Port ID to view the associated performance graphs in the Chart Work Area. The port
