• Gathering Interval indicates that the statistics are collected at the
interval displayed here. If the number of the CUs monitored is 64 or less,
the value between 1 and 15 appears as a gathering interval by minutes.
For example, if 1 min. is displayed, the information obtained every one
minute is displayed in the list and the graph. In case 65 or more CUs are
monitored, the statistics are displayed every 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
• The list on the right of Monitoring Data indicates storing period of
statistics (monitoring data). The statistics displayed in the Port-LUN tab
are stored only in short range. The range of monitoring data that can be
displayed in the window is between 8 hours and 15 days depending on the
gathering interval.
For details on the types of storing period of statistics, see Understanding
Statistical Storage Ranges.
For details on the relationship between collection interval and the storing
period of the statistics, see Monitoring Options Window.
• Monitoring Term let you narrow the range of statistics that should be
displayed in the window.
The starting and ending time for collecting statistics is displayed on both
sides of the slide bar. Performance Monitor stores the monitoring data
between these times, and you can specify desired term within this range as
the target to display in lists and graphs.
For example, if you want to view statistics within the range of 10:30 July 1
2007 to 10:30 July 2 2007, you set
2007/07/01 10:30
to the From box, set
2007/07/02 10:30
to the To box, and then click Apply.
To set a date and time in From and To, do either of the following:
– Move the slider to the left or to the right.
– In the text box, select the number that you want to change. Next, click
the upward or downward arrow button.
When you specify dates and time in From and To, Performance Monitor
calculates the length (in minutes) of the specified period and displays the
calculated length. When calculating the length in minutes, Performance
Monitor rounds up the fraction.
Note: From and To are unavailable if the monitoring data (that is,
obtained statistics) is not stored in the storage system.
• The Real Time option lets you view statistics in real-time mode, where
statistics are updated at a gathering interval you specify between 1 and 15
minutes.
