The Performance Monitor GUI, accessible from the Group Manager GUI, shows statistical data at regular time intervals. You use icons to start or stop polling the data, and to navigate through the captured data. You can display up to four sets of statistics. The Performance Monitor provides some flexibility, allowing you to change how data is displayed. You can view data as a chart, a histogram (bar chart), or a data table. For example, in chart view, you can click at any place along the graph and show details for a given time slice. You can also change the Performance Monitor display colors used in graphs, change the length of time between which data points are collected, and change the number of data points to save. To more effectively monitor multiple PS Series groups from a single GUI, Dell recommends that you use the SAN Headquarters monitoring tool. Start Performance Monitor from the Tools Menu 1. Open the Tools menu and click Performance monitor. The Group Manager Performance Monitor window opens. 2. Click Add statistics to open the Select Statistics dialog box. 3. Expand Members. 4.

The Performance Monitor provides some
flexibility,
allowing you to change how data is displayed. You can view data as a chart, a
histogram (bar chart), or a data table. For example, in chart view, you can click at any place along the graph and show details for a
