HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.3 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96322, August 2011)

IMPORTANT:
Since, the CHIP/CHA and the ACP/DKA MPs are moved to the MP blades in the P9000 disk arrays,
their MP utilization metrics are not applicable for the P9000 disk arrays.
port_exportDB-array_serial_number_<file_name>.csv
This file includes the following details:
• The XP or the P9000 disk array serial number for which the report is generated.
• The port IDs on the XP or the P9000 disk array. The port type, such as Fibre, Ficon, Escon, or
FCoE (applicable only for P9000 disk arrays) is also displayed beside the CHIP port ID.
• The performance data collection interval time stamps.
• The maximum and the minimum frontend I/Os on a port over an entire collection interval.
• The average frontend I/Os on a port over an entire collection interval.
• The maximum and minimum frontend throughput in MB/s that was read from or written to the port
in the last 30 seconds of the collection interval.
• The average frontend throughput in MB/s that was read from or written to the port over an entire
collection interval.
• The type of the port, such as the Fibre (Target), Fibre (Cont Acc Target), Fibre (Cont Acc Initiator),
or the Fibre (Ext-Lun Initiator).
• The associated E-Seq, which is the Ext-Lun provider’s serial number for the E-seq(s) array.
clpr_exportDB-array_serial_number_<file_name>.csv
This file includes the following details:
• The XP or the P9000 disk array serial number for which the report is generated.
• The CLPR IDs on the XP or the P9000 disk array.
• The performance data collection interval time stamps.
• The MB/s of cache used over an entire collection interval.
• The percentage of the writes that are held in the cache, yet to be transferred to the disks over an
entire collection interval.
• The MB/s of the continuous access asynchronous sidefile usage over an entire collection interval.
• The data accessed or the reads on a single CLPR over an entire collection interval.
mp_exportDB-array_serial_number_<file_name>.csv
IMPORTANT:
This file is created only when you save or schedule the Export DB report for a P9000 disk array.
This file includes the following details:
• The P9000 disk array serial number for which the report is generated.
• The MP blade IDs, the cluster # and the blade locations for the MP blades.
• The average percentage of utilization over the entire collection interval. It is calculated as the
utilization of all the individual processors in the MP blade.
• The performance data collection interval time stamps.
• The processors on an MP blade and their utilization percentage over the entire collection interval.
• The processing types and the respective MP busy time.
