Abstract

This guide details the measurement parameters evaluated by HP ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack (PMP) 4.0 for the various components of a system configuration. A brief description of each parameter displayed in both the Status and Inventory view is provided.

Static analysis

The following configuration information is gathered by hardware discovery and analyzed by PMP 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

•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

•Host buses—For example:

•Bus overloading

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