B HP Insight Control performance management - Bottleneck
Scenarios
This appendix identifies and provides solutions for some bottleneck scenarios encountered while using Insight
Control performance management.
Bottleneck Scenarios
Analyzing a network storage bottleneck condition
The following sections detail the appropriate responses when a bottleneck condition exists on network
storage.
Selecting the server
To display the performance management Online Analysis window for the monitored server, click the Major
icon on Monitoring Administration page.
The screen displays the server tree in the Server Configuration frame and the Status tab in the Results frame.
The counters that appear in the following figure are selected items from the various components. The Analysis
Explanation indicates that at least one component has a performance issue.
Server problems can also be seen within the Server Configuration frame. The tree structure in the Server
Configuration frame displays the configuration of each server, including individual components monitored
by performance management. The icons appearing in the tree next to a server or component indicate the
performance status for that item or the item under the server. The performance status icon for the selected
server also appears in the Results frame. Performance management indicates multiple problems for the server
in this example. Generally, only one component has a critical performance issue because bottlenecks tend
to mask one another.
Displaying the storage status
Trace the performance issue by using the information that appears next to the amber (Major) icon.
In the Server Configuration frame, to access the storage information and display the storage status page in
the Results frame, select Storage. Related and important storage counters appear in the Analysis Data table.
