About Performance Monitor
The Performance Monitor provides SAN performance management through an
end-to-end monitoring system that provides:
■ Increased end-to-end visibility into the fabric.
■ More accurate reporting for service level agreements and charged access
applications.
■ Increased performance tuning and resource optimization.
■ Shortened troubleshooting time.
■ Better capacity planning.
■ Increased productivity with pre-formatted and customizable screens and
reports.
The Performance Monitor graphically displays throughput (megabytes per
second) for each port and for the entire switch.
Port Throughput
Port throughput is the rate of bytes received at a port plus the number of bytes
transmitted.
Switch Throughput
Switch throughput is the sum of the throughput for all the ports. The Performance
Monitor also allows the graphing of traffic based on the Source ID and the
Destination ID hardware filtering mechanism.
