6.0 Monitor Storage, Configurations

You may determine the performance of drives attached to the FastStream using various displays and tests in ExpressNAV Storage Manager.

The following instructions assume you have already set up at least one RAID group.

The ATTO FastStream collects various metrics to measure performance for physical drives attached to the FastStream during normal system operation and drive initialization and verification.

Use the ExpressNAV Storage Manager to identify perform diagnostics on drives (page 25), get notification of certain conditions via Email (page 23), and, for the FastStream SC 5500 and 5700, identify

various issues with storage devices using the SES (SCSI Enclosure Status) protocol (page 27).

Note

New performance data is updated every 60 seconds which impacts performance slightly, even if you minimize the browser window. Exit the ExpressNAV Storage Manager completely whenever you need maximum performance.
