Using Performance Monitoring to Gather Traffic Data

Performance Monitoring can be used to monitor traffic flow and to view the
impact of different fabric configurations on performance.
For instructions on using Performance Monitoring, refer to the HP StorageWorks
Advanced Performance Monitoring Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.

Using Fabric Watch to Gather Traffic Data

Fabric Watch can be used to monitor traffic flow through specified ports on the
switch and send alerts when the traffic exceeds or drops below configurable
thresholds. This allows the administrator to monitor changes in traffic patterns and
adjust the fabric design accordingly, by adding, removing, or reconfiguring ISLs
and trunking groups.
For instructions on configuring Fabric Watch thresholds and alerts, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
