Creating a Controller Node Cache Performance Report
The Controller Node Cache Performance report displays the access count and hit percent of read
and write hits, the number of locked blocks, page states related to disk type, and the number of
delay acknowledgments, dirty pages and max dirty pages by disk type. Charts can be generated
for values over a time interval or at a specified time. Each type of hit or page is shown in a different
color on the same chart. The X-axis (category) represents time, and the Y-axis (value) indicates a
percentage or a number, depending on the type of chart.
