Viewing performance of storage systems

You can monitor the performance of your storage resources by viewing key metrics. For example, you can see charts for the response time, I/O rate, and data rate of your monitored storage systems.

About this task

Ensure that you deployed a data collector and that it can access the storage system to collect performance metadata.

Procedure

  1. Choose one of the following options:
    • IBM® Storage Insights Pro: Click Dashboards > Operations.
    • IBM Storage Insights: Click Dashboards.
  2. Click the storage system tile on the dashboard, for example, click a IBM Storage FlashSystem V9000 storage system for which the data collector is deployed.
    The performance information is displayed in the Overview page. You can see the charts for the response time, I/O rate, and data rate for the storage system for the previous 24 hours.
  3. To see the read and write values for a particular time on a chart, click the pointer on the line for that time.
    The values for that time are displayed on the right for each chart.
    Tip: On the Overview page, you can also see key capacity information, such as the used capacity and available capacity, for the storage system.
