Monitoring performance using Advanced Web Tools

The Advanced Web Tools Performance Monitor module graphically displays throughput in megabytes per

second for each port and for the entire switch.

The basic-mode Performance Monitor is standard in the Advanced Web Tools software. The Advanced

Monitoring menu in Performance Monitor is optionally licensed software.

Use the basic-mode Performance Monitor module to:

• Create user-definable reports.

• Display a performance canvas for application-level or fabric-level views.

• Save persistent graphs across reboots (which saves parameter data across reboots).

Using HP Advanced Performance Monitoring, you can display predefined reports for AL_PA, end-to-end,

and filter-based performance monitoring. You can track:

• The number of CRC errors for AL_PA devices

• The number of words received and transmitted in Fibre Channel frames with a defined S_ID/D_ID

pair

• The number of times a particular filter pattern in a frame is transmitted by a port

For detailed information on these types of performance monitoring, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric

OS 4.x features overview guide.

Each graph is displayed individually in a window, so it can be minimized, maximized, resized, and

closed. Graphs within the Performance Monitor module are updated every 30 seconds.

When you have multiple graphs open in the Performance Monitor module, you can:

• Select Tile from the Window menu to view all graphs at once, tiled in the Performance Monitor

module.

• Select Cascade from the Window menu to view one graph at a time.

• Select Close All to close all open Performance Monitor graphs in the Performance Monitor module.
