Exporting performance data for storage systems and fabrics

To help resolve performance issues with storage systems and fabrics, you can export performance data for the resources to a compressed file. If you contact IBM® Support to help you analyze the problem, you might be asked to send this file.

You can export performance data for the following types of resource: storage systems, nodes, modules, I/O groups, host connections, pools, RAID arrays, managed disks, disks, volumes, file systems, switches, ports, and inter-switch connections.

The summarization type for the exported data can be sample, hourly, or daily.

The performance data is created as CSV files, one file for each resource type. By default, the files are compressed as .zip files.
