Performance Tuning Over time, as a storage array exchanges data between the hosts and physical disks, its performance can degrade. Monitor the performance of a storage array and make adjustments to the storage array operational settings to improve performance. Monitoring Performance Monitor the performance of a storage array by using the save storageArray performanceStats command. This command saves performance information to a file that you can review to determine how well the storage array is running. Table 6-1 lists the performance information saved to the file. Table 6-1. Storage Array Performance Information Type of Information Description Devices Devices are: • RAID Controller Modules - The RAID controller module in slot 0 or 1 and a list of the virtual disks owned by the RAID controller module • Virtual Disk - A list of the virtual disk names • Storage Array Totals - A list of the totals for both RAID controller modules in an active-active RAID controller module pair, regardless if one, both, or neither are selected for monitoring Total I/Os Number of total I/Os performed since the storage array was started Read Percentage Percentage of total I/Os that are read operations (calculate the write percentage by subtracting the read percentage from 100 percent) Cache Hit Percentage Percentage of reads that are fulfilled by data from the cache rather than requiring an actual read from a physical disk Current KB/second Current transfer rate in kilobytes per second (current means the number of kilobytes per second since the last time the polling interval elapsed, causing an update to occur) Maximum KB/second Highest data transfer value achieved in the current kilobyte-per-second statistic block 96 Maintaining a Storage Array
