17 Administering Advanced Performance Monitoring This chapter contains information about the Advanced Performance Monitoring licensed feature. About Advanced Performance Monitoring Based on Frame Filtering technology and a unique performance counter engine, Advanced Performance Monitoring is a comprehensive tool for monitoring the performance of networked storage resources. Advanced Performance Monitoring provides the following monitors: • End-to-End monitor - Measures the traffic between a host/target pair. • Filter-based monitor - Measures the traffic transmitted through a port with specific values in the first 64 bytes of the frame. • ISL monitoring - Measures the traffic transmitted through an InterSwitch Link (ISL) to different destination domains. • AL_PA monitoring - Reports cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error measurement statistics for an AL_PA. • Top Talker monitoring - Measures the flows that are major consumers of bandwidth on a port. NOTE: Advanced Performance Monitoring is not supported on VE_Ports (virtual FC_Ports) and EX_Ports. If you issue commands for any Advanced Performance Monitors on VE_Ports or EX_Ports you will receive error messages. See "Configuring and Monitoring FCIP Extension Services" on page 435 for more information about VE_Ports. Additional performance monitoring features are provided through Web Tools. For additional information, see the Web Tools Administrator's Guide. The type of monitors supported depends on the ASIC. Table 76 shows the monitors supported on different ASICs. Table 76 Types of monitors supported on Brocade switch models Monitors: EE Filter ALPA ISL Top Talker Goldeneye ASIC (Brocade 4/8 SAN Yes Yes No Yes No Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch) Condor ASIC (SAN Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32B, 400 Multi-protocol Router, and the 4/256 SAN Director) Yes Yes No Yes Yes Condor2 ASIC DC SAN Backbone Yes Yes No No Yes Director (short name, DC Director) Bloom ASIC Yes Yes Yes Yes No NOTE: The HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch, 4/16 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 4/32B, 400 Multi-protocol Router, 4/256 SAN Director and DC Director switches do not display AL_PA measurements for end-to-end monitors. CRC reports are accessed using Web Tools. Also, AL_PA monitoring is not supported on NPIV configured ports. Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide 343
