3. If prompted, drag the port into the Enter/drag slot,port box, or enter the slot and port information in
the box, in the format slot,port.
• For Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director, you must select first a slot
number and then a port number.
• For 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch
2/32, 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem, and SAN Switch 4/32, you need enter only
a port number.
4. Click OK.
The graph is displayed in a window in the Performance Monitor module. The next section explains
how you can customize some of these graphs.

Customizing basic Performance Monitor graphs

You can customize some of the basic Performance Monitor graphs to display information for particular
ports. For the Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director, you can also
customize these graphs to display information for a slot.
You can customize the following graphs:
• Switch Throughput Utilization Graph
• Switch Percent Utilization Graph
• Port Snapshot Error Graph
The following procedure assumes that you have already created one of these customizable graphs.

Customizing a basic Performance Monitor graph

1. Create or access the graph you want to customize.
See "Creating a basic Performance Monitor
2. For Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director, to display detailed port
throughput utilization rates for each port in a slot, click the arrows next to a slot. Port information for
that slot is displayed in the graph.
For 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/32,
4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem, and SAN Switch 4/32, proceed to
