14 Administering advanced performance monitoring
This topic contains procedures for the HP Advanced Performance Monitoring licensed feature:
Based on HP Frame Filtering technology and a unique performance counter engine, advanced
performance monitoring is a comprehensive tool for monitoring the performance of networked storage
resources. It supports direct-attach, loop, and switched fabric Fibre Channel SAN topologies by:
• Monitoring transaction performance from source to destination
• Reporting CRC error measurement statistics
• Measuring HP ISL Trunking performance and resource usage
Further features are provided through Web Tools:
• Measuring device performance by port, AL_PA, and LUN
• Comparing IP versus SCSI traffic on each port
• Providing a library of predefined graphs
NOTE: The 4/8 SAN Switch and 4/16 SAN Switch running Fabric OS 5.x do not display AL_PA
measurements for end-to-end (EE) monitors. They provide port CRC reports through Advanced Web Tools.
The SAN Switch 4/32 switch running Fabric OS 4.4.0 does not display AL_PA measurements for EE
monitors. It provides port CRC reports through Advanced Web Tools.
Table 42 lists commands associated with advanced performance monitoring. For detailed information on
these commands, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide.
