How to configure the array for collecting data with export tool v1

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.
