Host performance management

Real-time performance enables you to collect data from managed HBA and CNA ports. You can use real-time performance to configure the following options:

•Select the polling rate from 20 seconds up to 1 minute.

•Select up to 32 ports total from a maximum of 10 devices for graphing performance.

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

NOTE

In the Port Picker dialog box, the Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter in AnyIO mode displays in both categories (HBA port measures and CNA port measures). The ports are properly filtered to display only the CNA or HBA port based on the selection.

Table 52 lists the counters that are supported for the FC ports and for the HBA and CNA ports.
