Viewing the performance graphs for an enclosure

In the Management Server console, you can view the performance of an enclosure in an interactive graph. You can review the performance of an enclosure for different durations - 6 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, or based on live data.

You can view the performance graphs for an enclosure only if the storage provisioned to a host from the enclosure is managed by DMP or VxDMP. You can also view the performance charts if the enclosure is discovered by Storage Insight Add-on version 8.0.2 or later.

Average Read/Write Latency for Host and Bytes Read/Written for Host charts are not displayed for virtual machines having virtual initiator.

Table: Performance graphs for an enclosure lists the performance graphs for an enclosure.

Table: Performance graphs for an enclosure

Performance graph name

Description

Average Read/Write Latency for Host

Displays the average read and write latency and the trend for the selected host for the specified duration.

Bytes Read/Written for Host

Displays the bytes read and written (in KB) and the trend for the selected host for the specified duration

IO Operations per second

Displays the number of IO operations per second and the linear trend for the selected host for the specified duration.

Note:

You can view this graph only if Storage Insight Add-on version 6.1 or later is installed

This graph is displayed only for EMC Symmetrix, EMC CLARiiON, EMC VNX (Block), NetApp and IBM XIV arrays.

This graph cannot be rendered for Live data.

You can view these performance graphs for the enclosures, for which your user group has at least Guest role explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization. You can also view the graphs if your user group has at least Guest role assigned on the Storage perspective.

To view the performance graphs for an enclosure

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Storage perspective and select Manage in the left pane.
  2. Expand Organization or Uncategorized Enclosures to locate the enclosure.
  3. Do one of the following:

    • If the enclosure is EMC VNX (Block), expand Components to select the Block.

    • For other enclosures, skip to step 4.

  4. Click the Performance tab. To change the duration, use the drop-down list.
  5. Click the ellipses to select a host.
