Hitachi Performance Monitor Feature; Hitachi Tuning Manager Software - Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 Best Practices Manual

Hitachi Performance Monitor Feature

Hitachi Performance Monitor feature is a controller-based software application, enabled through Hitachi
Storage Navigator 2 software, which monitors the performance of RAID groups, logical units and other
elements of the disk subsystem while tracking utilization rates of resources such as hard disk drives and
processors. Information is displayed using line graphs in the Performance Monitor windows, as shown in Figure
8, and can also be saved in comma-separated value (.csv) files.

You can measure utilization rates of disk subsystem resources, such as load on disks and ports, with Hitachi
Performance Monitor feature. When a problem such as slow response occurs in a host, an administrator can
use Hitachi Performance Monitor feature to quickly determine if the disk subsystem is the source of the
problem.

Hitachi Tuning Manager Software

Hitachi Tuning Manager software enables you to proactively monitor, manage and plan the performance and
capacity for the Hitachi modular storage that is attached to your Hyper-V servers. Hitachi Tuning Manager
software consolidates statistical performance data from the entire storage path. It collects performance and
capacity data from the operating system, switch ports, storage ports on the storage system, RAID groups and
LUs and provides the administrator a complete performance picture. It provides historical, current and forecast
views of these metrics. For more information about Hitachi Tuning Manager software, see the Hitachi Data
Systems support portal.
