longrange

Description

The longrange subcommand is used to specify a monitoring term (time range) for collecting monitoring data to be exported into files. Use this subcommand when you want to narrow the export-target term within the stored data.

The longrange subcommand is valid for monitoring data in long range. The monitoring data in long range is the contents displayed on the Physical tab of the Performance Management window with selecting longrange as the storing period.

The monitoring items whose data can be stored in long range are limited. The following table shows the monitoring items to which the longrange subcommand can be applied, and also shows the operands to export those monitoring items.

Monitoring Data

Operands of the group subcommand

Usage statistics about parity groups

PhyPG Long

Usage statistics about volumes

PhyLDEV Long

Usage statistics about MPs and data recovery and reconstruction processors

PhyProc Long

Usage statistics about access paths and write pending rate

PhyCMPK Long

If you run Export Tool without specifying the longrange subcommand, the data stored in the whole monitoring term will be exported.

The login subcommand must run before the longrange subcommand runs.

Syntax

longrange [[yyyyMMddhhmm][{+|-}ddhhmm]:[yyyyMMddhhmm][{+|-}ddhhmm]]

Operands

The value on the left of the colon (:) specifies the starting time of the period. The value on the right of the colon specifies the ending time of the period. Specify the term within "Long Range From XXX To XXX" which is output by the show subcommand.

If no value is specified on the left of the colon, the starting time for collecting monitoring data is assumed. If no value is specified on the right of the colon, the ending time for collecting monitoring data is assumed. The starting and ending times for collecting monitoring data are displayed in the Monitoring Term area in the Monitor Performance window.

Operand

Description

yyyyMMddhhmm

yyyyMMdd indicates the year, the month, and the day. hhmm indicates the hour and the minute.

If yyyyMMddhhmm is omitted on the left of the colon, the starting time for collecting monitoring data is assumed. If yyyyMMddhhmm is omitted on the right of the colon, the ending time for collecting monitoring data is assumed.

+ddhhmm

Adds time (ddhhmm) to yyyyMMddhhmm if yyyyMMddhhmm is specified. For example, 201301120000+010130 indicates Jan. 13, 2013. 01:30.

Adds time to the starting time for collecting monitoring data, if yyyyMMddhhmm is omitted.

-ddhhmm

Subtracts time (ddhhmm) from yyyyMMddhhmm if yyyyMMddhhmm is specified. For example, 201301120000-010130 indicates Jan. 10, 2013. 22:30.

Subtracts time from the ending time for collecting monitoring data, if yyyyMMddhhmm is omitted.

Ensure that mm is 00, 15, 30, or 45. If you do not specify mm in this way, the value on the left of the colon (:) will be rounded down to one of the four values. Also, the value on the right of the colon will be rounded up to one of the four values. For example, if you specify 201301010013:201301010048, the specified value is regarded as 201301010000:201301010100.

Examples

The examples below assume that:

  • the starting time for collecting monitoring data is Jan. 1, 2013, 00:00.
