Consider that the P9000 and the XP disk arrays, P9500 and XP24000 are monitored by the P9000
Performance Advisor management station.
• P9500 Disk Array details:
• LDEVs = 1703
• PORTs = 96
• Dkc_Collection_frequency = 300 seconds (5 * 60)
• Ldev_Collection_frequency = 600 seconds (10 * 60)
• Port_Collection_frequency = 600 seconds (10 * 60)
Free_Space on P9500 Disk Array = [(86400/600) *1703 * 0 .0002] + [(86400/ 600)
* 96 * 0.00008] + [(86400/300) * 0.0002] = 49.04 + 1.1 + 0.05 = 50.19 MB
• XP24000 Disk Array details:
• LDEVs = 2554
• PORTs = 32
• Dkc_Collection_ frequency = 300 seconds (5 * 60)
• Ldev_Collection_ frequency = 900 seconds (15 * 60)
• Port_Collection_ frequency = 600 seconds (10 * 60)
Free_Space on XP24000 Disk Array = [(86400/900) *2554 * 0 .0002] + [(86400/ 600
) * 32 * 0.00008 ]+[(86400/300) * 0.0002] = 49.03 + 0.36 + 0.05 = 49.45
