SAN End-to-end monitoring

NOTE

End-to-end monitoring requires a Fabric OS device.

NOTE

End-to-end monitoring on an Access Gateway device requires Fabric OS 7.0 or later with an Advanced

Performance Monitor license.

Performance enables you to provision end-to-end monitors of selected target and initiator pairs.

These monitors are persisted in the database and are enabled on one of the F_ports on the

connected device (the Management application server determines the port). You can use these

monitors to view both real-time and historical performance data.

NOTE

A Top Talker and an end-to-end monitor cannot be configured on the same fabric. You must delete

the Top Talker monitor before you configure the end-to-end monitor.

Configuring an end-to-end monitor pair

Performance Monitor license.

NOTE

Either the initiator device or the target device must have a Advanced Performance Monitor license

configured to create an end-to-end monitor.

To configure an end-to-end monitor pair, complete the following steps.

1. Select Monitor > Performance > End-to-End Monitors.
