Analyzing traffic statistics: one-to-one connections

You must analyze the traffic statistics to determine the upper limit values to be applied to I/O rates or transfer rates on non-prioritized ports.

Before you begin

Required role: Storage Administrator (System Resource Management)
You must enable the Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary window. For details, see the System Administrator Guide of your storage system.

Procedure

Click Reports Performance Monitor Server Priority Manager to open the Server Priority Manager window.
Click to change to Modify mode.
In the Server Priority Manager window, click Server Priority Manager. The Server Priority Manager main window appears.
Select the Port tab.
Select All from the list at the top right corner of the window.
Display the desired traffic statistics as follows:
- To view I/O rates, select IOPS from the list at the upper left corner of the list.
- To view transfer rates, select MB/s from the list at the upper left corner of the list.
The list displays the traffic statistics (average and peak I/O rates or transfer rates) of the ports.
Analyze the data in the list to determine the upper limit values to be applied to non-prioritized ports and, if desired, the threshold values to be applied to prioritized ports or the storage system.
To view the traffic statistics on data graphs, see Displaying the monitor data on graphs.
