Advanced Performance Monitor commands are available only to users with the admin or switchAdmin
roles. Use the perfhelp command to display a list of commands associated with Advanced Performance
Monitoring. For detailed information on these commands, see the Fabric OS Command Reference.
NOTE:
The command examples in this chapter use the slot/port syntax required by the following:
•
HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director
•
HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director
•
HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch platforms.
For the following, use only the port number where needed in the commands:
•
HP StorageWorks 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches
•
HP StorageWorks 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switches
•
HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/32
•
HP StorageWorks 4/64 SAN Switch
•
HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/32B
•
HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch
•
HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch
•
HP StorageWorks 400 Multi-Protocol Router
End-to-end performance monitoring
End-to-end performance monitoring counts the number of words in Fibre Channel frames for a specified
Source ID (SID) and Destination ID (DID) pair. An end-to-end performance monitor includes these counts:
•
RX_COUNT (words in frames received at the port)
•
TX_COUNT (words in frames transmitted from the port)
To enable end-to-end performance monitoring, you must configure an end-to-end monitor on a port,
specifying the SID-DID pair (in hexadecimal). The monitor counts only those frames with matching the SID
and DID.
Each SID or DID has the following three fields.
•
Domain ID (DD)
•
Area ID (AA)
•
AL_PA (PP)
For example, the SID 0x1 18a0f denotes DD 0x1 1, AA 0x8a, and AL_PA 0x0f.
