The following applies to arrays where performance data is collecting via the export tool v1 and an SVP, either by means of SAM4H or the Hitachi collector scripts.
- Enable performance monitoring and set the sampling interval to either 1 minute or 5 minutes. Only these sampling intervals are supported by the IOportal
- peaq recommends setting the sampling interval to 1 minute, unless the number of monitored CUs exceeds 64. In this case, the administrator may choose to either monitor up to 64 CUs with a resolution of 1 minute or monitor more than 64 CUs with a coarser resolution of 5 minutes
- Select the CUs on the "Monitored CUs" tab. Select CUs that contain LDEVs
- Note: if new LDEVs are provisioned on new CUs at a later stage, these new CUs must be added to the "monitored CUs" list. Otherwise, no performance data will be collected from the respective LDEVs!
- If desired, add host WWNs on the "Monitored WWNs" tab
For more detailed instructions, please refer to the "Setup Guide for HiCHperfpkg" that is bundled with the Hitachi collector scripts.
