8. If you want to view more detailed information in the graph, select the

Detail check box at the lower right of the list. The graph contents change

as described in Table 4-3.

Note: If more than one row is selected in the list, you cannot select the

Detail check box.

Figure 5-18 Transfer Rates for LU Paths

Note: If the CU is not the monitoring target, all items in the row are

displayed in italics. If you want to monitor those items, specify the CU as

the monitoring target by using the Monitoring Option window.

The list displays the following:

• : When the green checkmark icon is displayed on the left of an item,

the graph displays changes in workload statistics about the item.

• LUN: Indicates LUNs (logical unit numbers).

• LDEV: Indicates IDs of volumes, in the following format: LDKC:CU:LDEV.

An ID ending in # indicates the volume is an external volume. An ID

ending in V or X indicates the volume is a virtual volume.

• Emulation: Indicates emulation types.

• Paths: Indicates the number of LU paths (i.e. paths to volumes).

• Current: Indicates the current transfer rate.

• Ave.: Indicates the average transfer rate for the specified period.

• Max.: Indicates the maximum transfer rate for the specified period.

• Response Time: This column indicates the time for replying from the LU

paths when I/O accesses are made from the host to the LU paths. The unit

is milliseconds. The average response time in the period specified at

Monitoring Term is displayed.

This column displays a hyphen (-) if the I/O rate is 0 (zero).
