NOTE:

Insight Control performance management does not accurately report the negotiated PCI

bus protocol when unknown PCI devices with slower transfer rates than the controller are configured
on the same bus.

PCI Bus Inventory

PCI Support—Displays the supported and negotiated PCI protocol (bus and speed)

PCI Devices—Lists the PCI bus slots and any I/O expansion boards installed in the slots

Static analysis

The following configuration information is gathered by hardware discovery and analyzed by
Performance Management to display the performance status of server components:

Processors—For example, a mix of processors with different cache sizes

Memory

Network connections—For example, the ability to detect a NIC running at reduced speed or
in half-duplex mode

Host buses—For example:

Bus overloading

Too many I/O resources plugged into the same bus on a multi-bus server

Storage—For example:

A fast physical disk drive plugged into an enclosure that cannot support the maximum
I/O capabilities of the drive

A slow physical drive plugged into a fast enclosure

A RAID consisting of a mix of drive speeds

A RAID consisting of a mix of drive capacities
