Running the Performance of Volumes by Host Connection report

To see performance metrics for the volumes on a server, use the Performance of Volumes by Host Connection report.

Procedure

  1. In the Welcome portal, click Team Content > IBM Spectrum Control Predefined Reports.
  2. Click Storage Systems.
  3. Click Host Connections.
  4. Click Performance of Volumes by Host Connection.
  5. Select a host connection. To select a host connection, complete the following steps:
    1. Type a keyword.
      For example, type example1 to find the names of host connections that start with example1.
      To change the default search option, click Options.
      Use the percent sign as a wildcard.
      For example, type a% to find host connections that begin with ’a’ or ’A’. Type %a to find host connections that begin with or contain the letter ’a’ or ’A’. You can type % to retrieve all of the host connections on a resource.
    2. Click Search.
      The report searches the user-defined names for the host connections. The report does not search the server names that are defined when a server is probed.
      If the search is successful, the host connections are displayed in the Choice list.
    3. From the list, select a host connection, and then click Refresh.
  6. Select the volumes.
  7. Optional: Select an interval.
  8. To set the time frame of the report, specify a reporting period.
    It is easier to analyze small amounts of information over shorter periods.
    Tip: To specify a start date and an end date, select Custom date range from the list of reporting periods.
  9. Click Finish.
