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.
