Debugging a network storage bottleneck condition

The following sections detail the appropriate responses when a bottleneck condition exists on network
storage. In this scenario, the server name is pmp-client2k, sharing network storage MSA1500cs. An amber
(Major) icon in the PF column indicates a bottleneck condition exists on the server pmp-client2k.

Selecting the server

To display the PMP Online Analysis window for pmp-client2k, click the Major icon.
The screen displays the server tree in the Server Configuration frame and the Status tab in the Results frame.
The counters that appear in the following figure are selected items from the various components. The Analysis
Explanation indicates that at least one component has a critical performance issue.
Server problems can also be seen within the Server Configuration frame. The tree structure in the Server
Configuration frame displays the configuration of each server, including individual components monitored
by PMP. The icons appearing in the tree next to a server or component indicate the performance status for
that item or the item under the server. The performance status icon for the selected server also appears in
the Results frame. PMP indicates multiple problems for the server in this example. Generally, only one
component has a critical performance issue because bottlenecks tend to mask one another.
