Statistic information about disk array collected by iSM is accumulated in statistic information history files and statistic
information summarized files. This function can extract and output the information to a CSV format file (delimited by
commas).
Use of this function allows displaying values of accumulated statistic information. Furthermore, a spreadsheet program
can display the data of CSV format file in graphs, allowing review of long-term load fluctuation and performance analysis.
By specifying addition of header upon extracting a CSV file, the header record for the values is added to top of the file.
Editing the statistic information with a header record using a spreadsheet program allows easy identification of the statistic
data values.
CSV Conversion Tool creates CSV files according to the following naming convention. For information on the structure
of a CSV file, refer to Appendix B "CSV File Structure" of this manual.
Naming Convention for CSV Files
"Name of Statistic Information History (Summarized) File"_"Extension of Statistic
Information History (Summarized) File".csv
Example: Name of the CSV file for the statistic information history file "20020401NECStorage4100.psl"
20020401NECStorage4100_psl.csv
In statistic information history/summarized files, various types of statistic information regarding components of the disk
array are accumulated. You can extract the specified statistic information from the statistic information by giving
