Grid network throughput

Use this page to view network throughput statistics for the IBM® TS7700 Grid.

Note: This page is only visible if the grid contains more than one cluster.
The Grid Network Path Utilization graph displays for each cluster in the grid cross-cluster data transfer rates in megabytes per second (MB/s) achieved during the last 15 minutes. The Cross-cluster data transfer performance (MB/s) during last 15 minutes table displays the same information in a table format. Information shown includes:
Cluster
The name of the cluster.
Outbound Access
Data transfer rate for host operations that move data from the specified cluster into one or more remote clusters.
Inbound Access
Data transfer rate for host operations that move data into the specified cluster from one or more remote clusters.
Copy Outbound
Data transfer rate for copy operations that pull data out of the specified cluster into one or more remote clusters.
Copy Inbound
Data transfer rate for copy operations that pull data into the specified cluster from one or more remote clusters.
Total
Total data transfer rate for the cluster.
Peer Cluster
The cluster that the current cluster is communicating with.
Access Read
Data transfer rate for read operations.
Access Write
Data transfer rate for write operations.
Copy Read
Data transfer rate for copy read operations.
Copy Write
Data transfer rate for copy write operations.
