Threshold Alerts - HP StorageWorks 2/140 - Director Switch Product Manager Manual

Threshold Alerts

A threshold alert notifies Product Manager users when the transmit (Tx) or receive
(Rx) throughput reaches specific values for director ports or port type (E_Ports or
F_Ports).
Choose the Threshold Alerts option on the Configure menu on the menu bar to
display the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure
criteria for generating a threshold alert. One criteria that you must configure is a
throughput value that equals a specific percentage of the port's total throughput
capacity. You also provide a time interval during which throughput is measured and a
time interval during which that throughput value must remain constant. When
throughput reaches the threshold value and remains constant for the specified time, an
alert is generated.
Threshold alerts occur as the following in the Product Manager:
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays on the port in the
Port Card View.
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays on the port card in the
Hardware View.
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays in the Alert column of the
Port List View.
• An attention indicator (yellow triangle) that displays by the Threshold Alerts
field in the Port Properties dialog box.
• Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.
