SAN real-time performance data

Real-time performance monitoring enables you to collect data from managed devices in your SAN. Real-time performance monitoring is only supported on the following managed objects: FC (E_Ports and F_Ports), GE_Ports, E_Port trunks, 10GE_Ports, managed HBA Ports, managed CNA Ports, and FCIP tunnels. You can use real-time performance monitoring to configure the following options:

•Select the polling rate from 10 seconds up to 1 minute.

•Select up to 100 ports total from a maximum of 20 devices for graphing performance.

For E_Port trunks, you can select up to 25 trunks (the trunk member [port] count must be below 100) from a maximum of 20 devices for graphing performance.

NOTE

Virtual Fabric logical ISL ports are not included in performance collection.

•Choose to display the same Y-axis range for both the Tx MB/Sec and Rx MB/Sec measure types for easier comparison of graphs.

Generating a real-time performance graph

You can monitor a device’s performance through a performance graph that displays transmit and receive data. The graphs can be sorted by the column headers. You can create multiple real-time performance graph instances.

NOTE

To make sure that statistics for a switch does not fail, you must configure SNMP credentials for the switch. For step-by-step instructions, refer to “Discovery” on page 31.

To generate a real-time performance graph for a device, complete the following steps.

1.Select the fabric, device, or port for which you want to generate a performance graph

2.Select Monitor > Performance > Real-Time Graph.

If you selected a port, the Real Time Performance Graphs dialog box for the selected port displays. To filter real-time performance data from the Real Time Performance Graphs dialog box, refer to “Filtering real-time performance data” on page 977.

If you selected a fabric or device, the Realtime Port Selector dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 396 on page 977. Continue with step 3.
