Usage Monitor Graph

Select data to be graphed

The usage monitor graph plots the I/O data that you specify. On the graph:

The x-axis indicates time.

The y-axis indicates the number of I/Os during the sampling period.

The legend on the right side shows the data being displayed.

The value on the y-axis varies according to the maximum value of the statistical data appearing
in the graph. If the y-axis value exceeds 10,000,000, the value is shown in exponential notation
(for example, 1E7 = 1 x 10

7

= 10,000,000; 2E8 = 2 x 10

8

= 200,000,000)

.

Make sure that usage monitoring is running (Monitoring Switch = Enable). The usage monitor
graph can be viewed only when monitoring is on.

(see HP P9000 External Storage for Open and Mainframe Systems User Guide for more
information about external drives).

- A device ID ending in X (e.g., 00:00:3C X) indicates the LDEV is a Thin Provisioning
virtual volume (see HP P9000 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide for more
information on a virtual volumes).

Journal, to view I/O statistics for a specific journal. Enter a journal number (000-0FF) in
