HP Insight Control Performance Management 7.3 User Guide

Static analysis
The following configuration information is gathered by hardware discovery and analyzed by
performance management to display the performance status of server components:
• Processors—For example, a mix of processors with different cache sizes
• Memory
• Network connections—For example, the ability to detect a NIC running at reduced speed or
in half-duplex mode
• Host buses—For example:
Bus overloading◦
◦ Too many I/O resources plugged into the same bus on a multi-bus server
• Storage—For example:
◦ A fast physical disk drive plugged into an enclosure that cannot support the maximum
I/O capabilities of the drive
◦ A slow physical drive plugged into a fast enclosure
◦ A RAID consisting of a mix of drive speeds
◦ A RAID consisting of a mix of drive capacities
