Analyzing traffic statistics: many-to-many connections

The traffic statistics indicate the number of I/Os via ports from HBAs and the amount of data that
has been transferred between ports and HBAs. You must analyze the traffic statistics to determine
the upper limit values to be applied to I/O rates or transfer rates for low-priority HBAs.
The following procedure uses the Performance Control main window to analyze traffic statistics.
You can also use the Performance Monitor window to analyze traffic statistics and display a line
graph that shows the changes in traffic.
