IMPORTANT: CLPRs do not exist in an XP1024 Disk Array. So, the Cache related metrics are
not displayed in the Available Metrics Choose Metric Category list when you select a disk array of
type XP1024.
In the above image, under Cache for the XP disk array 10055:
• Cache is the main category. The number (6) indicates the number of CLPRs partitions configured
on the selected XP disk array.
• The CLPR0 and CLPR1 are the individual CLPRs.
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
performance graphs in the Chart Work Area. For a description of these metrics, see “Metric
Category, metrics, and descriptions” (page 387).
The following table provides the default set of metric categories that are displayed in the Available
Metrics Choose Metric Category list for the XP and the P9000 disk arrays.
