Advanced performance monitoring graphs 7 Advanced performance monitoring graphs This section describes how to create the advanced performance monitor graphs listed in Table 12 on page 91. Because the procedure for creating these graphs differs depending on the type of graph, each type is described separately in the sections that follow. The advanced monitoring graphs are not supported for GbE ports. NOTE You must have an Advanced Performance Monitoring license installed to use the Advance Performance Monitor features. If user-defined Admin Domains are configured, Advanced Performance Monitoring works only in AD255. Creating SID-DID Performance graphs The SID/DID Performance graph displays the traffic between a SID-DID pair on the switch being managed. To create a SID-DID performance graph, perform the following steps. 1. Open the Performance Monitoring window. 2. Select Performance Graphs > Advanced Monitoring > SID/DID Performance. The SID/DID Performance Setup dialog box displays. • To see the end-to-end (EE) monitors that are currently set up on a particular port, proceed to step 3. • To specify the port, Source ID and Domain ID, skip to step 4. NOTE Only the FC ports of the launched switch display in the tree. The All Devices tab lists all the devices in the fabric and lets you select the source and destination. Slot and port information of other switches is not displayed in the tree. 3. Click a port from the Slot/Port or Sid/Did Selection List. a. Drag the selected port into the Enter/drag slot, port number field. b. Click Retrieve preset EE monitors. The current end-to-end monitors for that port are displayed in the "Current EE monitors set for selected port" table. c. Optional: To display a performance graph for the current EE monitors set for the selected port, click a SID-DID pair in the table. You can select multiple Source ID and Destination IDs. Click Select. If you selected multiple SID/DID monitors, click OK in the confirmation dialog box that displays. Skip to step 6. If you do not want to display a performance graph for the current EE monitors set for the selected port, continue with step 4. 4. Select a source ID from the Port or Sid/Did Selection List, and click Add Sid. You can also enter a source ID in the Enter/drag SID number field. 5. Select a destination ID from the Port or Sid/Did Selection List, and click Add Did. You can also enter a destination ID in the Enter/drag DID number field. 6. Click OK.

Advanced performance monitoring graphs

This section describes how to create the advanced performance monitor graphs listed in

Table 12

on page 91. Because the procedure for creating these graphs differs depending on the type of

graph, each type is described separately in the sections that follow.

The advanced monitoring graphs are not supported for GbE ports.

NOTE

You must have an Advanced Performance Monitoring license installed to use the Advance

Performance Monitor features. If user-defined Admin Domains are configured, Advanced

Performance Monitoring works only in AD255.

Creating SID-DID Performance graphs

The SID/DID Performance graph displays the traffic between a SID-DID pair on the switch being

managed.

To create a SID-DID performance graph, perform the following steps.

Open the

Performance Monitoring

window.

Select

Performance Graphs

Advanced Monitoring

SID/DID Performance

. The

SID/DID

Performance Setup

dialog box displays.

•

To see the end-to-end (EE) monitors that are currently set up on a particular port, proceed

step 3

•

To specify the port, Source ID and Domain ID, skip to

step 4

NOTE

Only the FC ports of the launched switch display in the tree. The

All Devices

tab lists all the

devices in the fabric and lets you select the source and destination. Slot and port information

of other switches is not displayed in the tree.

Click a port from the

Slot/Port

Sid/Did Selection List

Drag the selected port into the

Enter/drag slot, port number

field.

Click

Retrieve preset EE monitors

. The current end-to-end monitors for that port are

displayed in the “Current EE monitors set for selected port” table.

Optional

: To display a performance graph for the current EE monitors set for the selected

port, click a SID-DID pair in the table. You can select multiple Source ID and Destination

IDs. Click

Select

. If you selected multiple SID/DID monitors, click

in the confirmation

dialog box that displays. Skip to

step 6

. If you do not want to display a performance graph

for the current EE monitors set for the selected port, continue with

step 4

Select a source ID from the

Port or Sid/Did Selection List

, and click

Add Sid

You can also enter a source ID in the

Enter/drag SID number

field.

Select a destination ID from the

Port or Sid/Did Selection List

, and click

Add Did

You can also enter a destination ID in the

Enter/drag DID number

field.

Click
