The applicable metrics are displayed in the Available Metrics Choose Metric Category list. Select

the metrics at the component type or the individual component levels, or both to view the related

IMPORTANT:

• At the Front-end main category level, the Maximum Port IO/s  Frontend and the Maximum

Port MB/s  Frontend metrics provide the respective maximum I/Os and MB/s of data

throughput of all the ports in the selected XP or the P9000 disk array. These values are the

maximum of the last collection interval. For example, if the port I/O collection interval is set

to two minutes, the Maximum Port IO will be calculated as the maximum value over the two

minute collection interval.

• When you plot the performance data points for a port ID, the associated port type is also

displayed in the legend for the selected port ID (example: (53046, CL2A (Fibre (Target)),

Total).
