Table 16 P-VOL S-VOL Ports performance metrics
DescriptionUnitPerformance metrics
Port name.numberPort
Slot number.stringSlot
Communication mode configured for
the port, can be a MCU or RCU. MCU
stringMode
refers to the Master port that is
configured to send I/Os to the RCU
(Receiver port) residing on the remote
data center disk array. RCU is
configured to only receive I/Os from
the MCU residing on the remote data
center disk array. The performance data
shown is for the MCUs and RCUs that
belong to the disk array you selected.
Type of the port, can be Fibre or FCoE
(applicable only for P9000 disk arrays).
stringType
Minimal I/O rate of the last 60
seconds.
IO/sMinIO
Maximum I/O rate of the last 60
seconds.
IO/sMaxIO
Average I/O rate of the last 60
seconds.
IO/sAvgIO
Calculate average I/O size (=avg KB
/ avgIO).
KB/IOKB/IO
Minimal throughput of the last 60
seconds.
KB/sMinKB
Maximum throughput of the last 60
seconds.
KB/sMaxKB
Average throughput of the last 60
seconds.

CA Journal Metrics
The CA Journal metrics includes the configuration data of P-VOLs and S-VOLs that belong to a
selected CTG. In addition, it includes performance metrics for the following components:
• LDEVs configured as P-VOLs or S-VOLs
• RAID groups to which the P-VOLs or S-VOLs belong
• CLPRs configured to manage cache for the P-VOLs or S-VOLs
• Journal group associated with the P-VOLs or S-VOLs
• LDEVs configured as journal volumes
• RAID groups to which the journal volumes belong
• CLPRs associated with the journal groups
• Ports configured for the continuous access journal group.
The performance data is displayed for all the continuous access ports irrespective of whether
you view the Sync/Async metrics or the CA Journal metrics.
The Output screen and the seven .csv output files that are generated, one file for each component,
contain performance metrics pertaining to the above mentioned P-VOLs and S-VOLs, journal groups,
associated ports, RAID groups, and CLPRs in the selected XP or P9000 disk arrays.
