Virtual mounts

Use this page to view virtual mount statistics for the IBM® TS7700 Grid.

Virtual mount statistics are displayed for activity on each cluster during the previous 15 minutes. These statistics are displayed in bar graphs and tables and are organized according to number of virtual mounts and average mount times.

Number of virtual mounts
This section provides statistics for the number of virtual mounts on a given cluster during the most recent 15-minute snapshot. Snapshots are taken at 15-minute intervals. Each numeric value represents the sum of values for all active partitions in the cluster. Information displayed includes:
Cluster
The cluster name.
Fast-Ready
The number of virtual mounts that were completed using the Fast-Ready method.
Cache Hits
The number of virtual mounts that were completed from cache.
Cache Misses
The number of mount requests that are unable to be fulfilled from cache.
Note: This field is visible only if the selected cluster possesses a physical library.
Total
Total number of virtual mounts.
Average mount times
This section provides statistics for the average mount times in milliseconds (ms) on a given cluster during the most recent 15-minute snapshot. Snapshots are taken at 15-minute intervals. Each numeric value represents the average of values for all active partitions in the cluster. Information displayed includes:
Cluster
The cluster name.
Fast-Ready
The average mount time for virtual mounts that were completed using the Fast-Ready method.
Cache Hits
The average mount time for virtual mounts that were completed from cache.
Cache Misses
The average mount time for mount requests that are unable to be fulfilled from cache.
Note: This field is visible only if the selected cluster possesses a physical library.
