Performance data collection

When there are more than 512 monitors in the system, monitors are saved to flash memory in the

following order:

• The EE monitors for each port (from 0 to MAX_PORT)

• The frame monitors for each port

EE monitors get preference saving to flash memory when the total number of monitors in a switch

exceeds 512. If the total number of monitors per port or switch exceeds the limit, then you will

receive an error message indicating the count has been exceeded and that some monitors have

been discarded.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Type one of the following commands, depending on the action you want to perform:

• To save the current end-to-end and frame monitor configuration settings into nonvolatile

memory, use the perfCfgSave command:

switch:admin> perfcfgsave

This will overwrite previously saved Performance Monitoring

settings in FLASH. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

Please wait ...

Performance monitoring configuration saved in FLASH.

• To restore a saved monitor configuration, use the perfCfgRestore command. For example,

to restore the original performance monitor configuration after making several changes:

switch:admin> perfcfgrestore

This will overwrite current Performance Monitoring settings in RAM. Do you

want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

Please wait... Performance monitoring configuration restored from FLASH

ROM.

• To clear the previously saved performance monitoring configuration settings from

nonvolatile memory, use the perfCfgClear command:

switch:admin> perfcfgclear

This will clear Performance Monitoring settings in FLASH. The RAM settings

won’t change. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

Please wait... Committing configuration...done.

Performance Monitoring configuration cleared from FLASH.

Performance data collection

Data collected through Advanced Performance Monitoring is deleted when the switch is rebooted.

Using the Brocade Network Advisor Enterprise Edition, you can store performance data persistently.

For details on this feature, see the Brocade Network Advisor User Manual.
