Viewing Parity Group data
Consider the scenario of five RAID groups (preferably belonging to the same drive type). You want
to know which is the least busiest RAID group, so that you can provision storage space from the
RAID group to create new LDEVs in that RAID group. HP XP7 Performance Advisor helps you to
identify the least utilized RAID group by providing the backend I/O metric and utilization metric
graphs for the five RAID groups that you select in HP XP7 Remote Web Console. The I/O metric
data provides an indication of the I/O load that is currently handled by the individual RAID group.
Before you start provisioning, ensure that the RAID group has sufficient storage space.
To view the parity group data:
1.
Complete steps 1 and 2 mentioned under “Launching HP XP7 Performance Advisor” (page 346) .
2. Select Parity Groups in the list displayed for the XP7 disk array serial number.
NOTE: The navigation path Parity Groups+ Internal is not supported.
3. In the right work area, select the parity group record for which you want to view the usage
and performance data in Performance Advisor.
