HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System V1.4 Administrator Guide (T3559-96027, March 2006)

Table 13 System Sta tus view features
Feature
Description
Smart Cell Domain
Information
• Name and status of domains in the system
• Total number of messages currently stored in all domains
• Total number of messages that could not be parsed (interpreted) or r outed in
all domains
Messages with malformed message structure (MIME) or unsupported character
sets cannot be parsed. They are placed in the catch-all repository with messages
that fail to be routed.
Smart Cell Allocation
Number of smart cells in each life cycle state. Lost is a pseudostate indicating
smart cells whose current life cycle state cannot be determined.
Example:
Software Versions Link displaying version identifiers for installed software groups.
Graph Information
• Other graphs: Link to custom performance graphs of selectable components.
• 24- hour time bar: Selectable time periods for graph displayed at bottom of
window. You can select Last 24 Hours or hourly periods expressed in 24-hour
(military)format. Selectedperiodhasagraybackground. (Alltimesarein
time zone where system is installed.)
• Select box: Type of data displayed in graph at bottom of window.
• Appliance Rates: store rate (messages stored per second), index rate
(messages indexed per second), and indexer latency growth (store rate minus
index rate) over selected time period.
• Saved Queries: Average wait time (after query is submitted until processing
starts) and completion time (after processing starts until all results are retrieved)
of saved queri es.
• Unsaved Queries: Average wait time (after query is submitted until processing
starts), first-page time (after query is submitted until first page is displayed),
and completion time (after processing starts until first batch of results, 500 or
less, is retrieved) of unsaved queries.
• graph: Line graph showing selected performance data for selected time
period.
In a properly operating system, indexer latency g rowth is zero on average over
time,whichmeansstoreddataisbeingindexedasfastasnewdataisbeing
stored. Positivevaluesmeanindexingisslowerthanstorage. Evenasmall
positive value maintained over several days means indexing is falling further and
further behind storage. Negative values generally mean indexing is catching up
on backlog of documents: more stored messages are being indexed than new
messagesarebeingstored.
To update graph, select another time period in the 24-hour time b ar. For example,
select 16 to display store and index rates from 16:00 to 17:00, which is 4:00
pm to 5:00 pm.
To select another data type and update graph, click the arrow in the Select box.
To select and view detailed graphs of system and component performance, click
Other Graphs. Select component, metric, and ti me period. For example, you can
display minimum, maximum, and average performance of TSC-NAT machine from
5:00 pm to 6:00 pm on January 26, 2005.
