Creating a CPG Report
Using the Create New Report wizard, you can generate a report for the following types of data:
• CPG Region IO Density – Shows the I/O access rate and distribution of data for a specific
CPG.
• CPG Cumulative Region IO Density – Shows the cumulative I/O access rate and distribution
of data for CPGs.
• CPG Space – Displays the historical space data reports for CPGs.
Once you select the type of report you want to generate, a default report Name and Description
appears to the right side of the page. You can keep the default text or provide your own.
Creating a CPG Region IO Density Report
The CPG Region IO Density report displays the I/O access rate and distribution of data for the
selected CPG. A region IO density report for a single CPG can show how the workload is distributed
among busy and idle regions. This is important for determining if an AO configuration will work
well for the CPG's workload.
The report displays two IO Rate Density charts: one showing region space and one showing I/O
operations per minute. The first chart (displayed on the left side of the Management Window)
shows the total space used by the region during the specified time period. Each region is put into
the appropriate histogram bucket on the X-axis (category) based on its IO access rate during the
specified time period. The Y-axis (value) for this chart indicates the total space for the regions in
the histogram bucket.
The second chart (displayed on the right side of the Management Window) shows the regions’
total IO accesses/minute during the specified time period. The X-axis for this chart follows the same
convention as the first chart. The Y-axis for the second chart indicates the total IO accesses/minute
for the regions in the histogram bucket.
