Performance problems on SVC or Storwize .. Analysis example videos
BVQ is by today the only analysis software on the market which covers the new front end and back end cache structures which have been introduced with SVC Storwize code V7.3 V7.4. The knowledge and coverage of these new structures are eminent to be successful with performance problem analysis. We have many storage performance examples collected in our white paper section Use cases and experiences Video section ---------- This is an additional information to this blog entry from 15/02/25 --------------- Some...

Performance Bottleneck Analysis on IBM SVC und IBM Storwize
BVQ Use Case: Performance Bottleneck Analysis on IBM SVC and IBM Storwize Latency peaks, even if they are intermittent are dangerous troublemakers and you need targeted methods to track them down and to prevent them. This White Paper presents such methods for the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC), or IBM Storwize V7000 which also uses SVC code. As an analytical tool BVQ (Qualicision Business Volume) is used because it is very interactive and can evaluate the metrics provided by SVC very completely. Some pictures... [More]

Analysis of a completely overloaded SVC
Analysis of a completely overloaded SVC See the complete Story here Customer Use Case: Analysis of a completely overloaded system I
added this document because I have never seen such results before. The
Storage has real performance Issues and it is easy to see that there is a
big problem to get the data written down from the SVC caches to the
backend storage. A Case where I believe that the storage backend has to
be exchanged with something that performs better. Technically the used
storage should be able to support all... [More]

Identify performance risks in SVC or Storwize
We actually run a program that we call the HKC Analysis or more simple health check. One part of this analysis is to check the SVC for typical performance risks. I have collected some principal steps of this kind of analysis. We call this part of the HKC analysis the "performance risk analysis". If you are interested in this kind of analysis you will find more informations here: HKC Analysis Checklist or send a mail for more information to bvq@sva.de You need: (please see checklist for details) a BVQ Test license a...

2.5 Minutes Movie - Check SVC Cluster Nodes for overload Conditions
I have added a great movie that shows how we check a SVC or Storwize V7000, Storwize V3700 Storage for CPU or Global Caches overload. With BVQ you only need seconds to find out whether the storage is overloaded or not. This video shows how to do this. Link to the Movie Page
