Tutorial: Monitoring IBM Storage Scale performance

You can use IBM Spectrum® Control to monitor the performance of the IBM Storage Scale™ clusters in your storage environment.

In the following video, you learn how to use the following techniques to identify performance issues and bottlenecks in your storage:
  • Analyze the performance of all your clusters over a period to determine which clusters have the heaviest I/O loads or the longest response times.
  • View which of the nodes that mount a file system have the heaviest I/O loads and highest CPU utilization.
  • Compare the file systems on a cluster to determine which file systems have the heaviest I/O loads and the longest response times.
  • Monitor the performance of SAN attached volumes that are backing the Network Shared Disks (NSDs) in the cluster. If you have block storage devices, such as IBM Storage Accelerate™ or IBM Storage FlashSystem®, that are providing storage for your clusters, you can monitor the block volumes that are backing the NSDs.
