Monitoring copy operations and I/O statistics

You can monitor copy operations and I/O statistics to determine the replication performance.

For more information about monitoring performance, see the Performance Guide.

For the primary site in a 3DC multi-target configuration combining three UR sites, two or more mirrors are set in the primary system. The following table describes the data displayed in Logical Device (UR/URMF) and Journal (UR/URMF) for Performance Monitor in the primary storage system.

Monitoring data

Description

Logical Device (UR/URMF)

Initial copy cache hit (%)

Average of all mirror’s cache hit rates in primary system.

Initial copy data transfer (MB/s)

Total of all mirror’s data transfer amount in primary system during initial copy.

Journal (UR/URMF)

Master journal throughput (IOPS)

Total throughput of all mirrors in the primary system.

Master journal (count/sec)

Total of all mirror’s journal responses in primary system.

Master journal data transfer (MB/s)

Total of all mirror’s data transfer amount in primary system.

Master journal response time (ms)

Average of all mirror’s response time in primary system.

Notes:

  1. The journal information per mirror is displayed in Journal (UR/URMF). Note that it is impossible to reference the initial copy information per mirror.

If the journal group attribute is Master/Restore, only the restore journal information is displayed in Journal (UR/URMF), as shown in the following table.

NoteIn a cascade configuration in which three UR sites are combined, a restore journal value might be greater than the corresponding master journal value.
