4 Monitoring the SVSP domain
This chapter describes how to set up monitoring for an SVSP domain using administrative tools.
Monitoring system performance
There are two ways to monitor SVSP performance:
• Monitor the application server-to-array throughput using the Fibre Channel switch vendor perform-
ance tools.
• Monitor the internal VSM data moving performance using a tool for collecting performance data
like Microsoft's Perfmon, which is described below.
Setting up Perfmon
Perfmon should be run from a remote server so as not to interfere with VSM performance. Install the
application on the server, and then log in and launch the perfmon.msc file. Perfmon can then be
set up to run automatically.
1. Click Performance Logs and Alerts in the left sidebar.
2. Double-click Counter Logs.
3. To create a new log, right-click in the area on the right side, and select New Log Settings.
(Alternatively, you can select Action > New Log Settings.)
4. Type in a name and click OK.
