Procedure
1. Scroll down the detail pane in the Processors screen to view the MP Blade utilization by processing
types.
A stacked area graph is displayed in a separate Chart View window and displays the MP blade
utilization split up for the different processing types. Each area represents the percentage of average
MP blade utilization by an individual processing type. The X-axis represents the duration that you
select and the Y-axis represents the average MP blade utilization. The chart title includes the
P9500/XP7 disk array DKC number, the MP blade ID, and the metric name for which the graph is
plotted. The legends on the top right corner of the stacked area graph help you to identify the
corresponding processing types.
2. Place the pointer over an area to view the following details for a processing type:
