Performance monitoring

With IBM Storage Scale, system administrators can monitor the performance of GPFS and the communications protocols that it uses.

Network performance monitoring
Network performance can be monitored either by using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) statistics or it can be monitored by using the IBM Storage Scale graphical user interface (GUI).
Monitoring I/O performance with the mmpmon command
Use the mmpmon command to monitor the I/O performance of IBM Storage Scale on the node on which it is run and on other specified nodes.
Using the performance monitoring tool
The performance monitoring tool collects metrics from GPFS and protocols and provides system performance information. By default, the performance monitoring tool is enabled, and it consists of Collectors, Sensors, and Proxies.
Viewing and analyzing the performance data
The performance monitoring tool displays the performance metrics that are associated with GPFS and the associated protocols. It helps you get a graphical representation of the status and trends of the key performance indicators, and analyze IBM Storage Scale performance problems.
