Release Notes

7 Analyzing Dell PS Series Storage with SAN Headquarters | TR1050
Analysis
• Determine how the group is performing, relative to a typical I/O workload of small, random I/O operations.
This information helps determine if a group has reached its full capabilities, or whether the group workload
can be increased without impacting performance.
• Allocate group resources more effectively by identifying underutilized resources.
• Apply different RAID policies for a group, pool, or member to analyze the performance benefits and determine
the reliability of your current RAID policy.
• View the percentage of all TCP segment packets sent by the member port.
• Visualize synchronous replication volumes and NAS volumes.
• Visualize data for groups configured for snapshot and replication compression.
• Visualize storage pools with storage containers comprising one or more VMware® vSphere® Virtual Volumes™
(vVols) mapped to a virtual machine (VM). For each vVol, list the connected vVols, identify the vVol type, and
report capacity information and I/O performance.
• Show detailed space borrowing statistics including volume snapshots borrowing from replica reserve and
delegated space; and replicas borrowing from other from other replica reserves, delegated space, and
snapshot reserve.
• Preserve group performance data for later analysis by creating archives.
• Create customized reports of group performance data.
• Export performance data to a spreadsheet.
Notification
• Set and display threshold criteria for performance and capacity alerts.
• Quickly be informed of hardware, capacity, and performance-related problems.
• View events, audits, and group alerts.
• Receive email notification of alerts.
Support
• Deploy Dell SupportAssist for diagnostic data collection on a weekly basis, on-demand as needed, or when
critical events occur. Diagnostic data collections are automatically uploaded to Dell Support for analysis; if you
disable automatic uploads, the data is encrypted and stored locally.
SAN HQ does not disrupt access to group storage or degrade performance on the hosts or groups.
