In the performance view, performance metrics and related
information for resources are shown in a chart and in the chart legend.
For resources in the chart legend, you can open separate performance
views for their internal or related resources. The separate performance
views use the same time range as the performance view in the main
window of the GUI.
For example, when you view the performance of a SAN Volume Controller, you can
right-click it in the chart legend to open a performance view for
its internal and related resources, such as disks, volumes, ports,
managed disks, and back-end storage.
The type of resource determines
the internal and related resources that you can view. The following
tables show the internal and related resources that are available
when you right-click a resource in the chart legend.
