Viewing Smart and ThP pools data for P9000 disk arrays
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor provides the current configuration and performance data for
the Smart pools and the ThP pools. Smart pools contain multiple storage tiers that can be categorized
as the upper and lower tiers. The upper tiers are created from the SSD drives and used for storing
frequently accessed data. The lower tiers can be created from the SAS or the SATA drives and
used for storing less accessed data.
To view data about the different storage tiers and the RAID group utilization for a Smart or ThP
pool in a P9000 disk array, click Pools for the disk array in the component selection tree under
Array View in the left pane. You can click a particular record in the V-vol Settings field, Pool
Volume field, and Pool Tiers field to highlight the record, and then click Plot Chart to choose the
metrics and to view the respective performance graphs
You can also click a particular record to highlight the record, and then click Plot Chart to choose
