Creating FCP performance reports

Using the output from ziomon, you can create three performance reports by using the report commands.

ziorep_config: Generates a report for the FCP I/O configuration.
ziorep_utilization: Generates a report for FCP device utilization.
ziorep_traffic: Generates a report for the I/O traffic of FCP devices.

For ziorep_utilization and ziorep_traffic, you can narrow the results down to a specific date range or aggregate data over time. Furthermore, ziorep_traffic allows more fine-grained device selection as well as aggregation of data on different device levels.

See the report man pages for detailed information about the reports. See Collecting FCP performance data with ziomon for information about ziomon.

Terminology note: Be aware that to the Linux SCSI stack, an FCP device is an adapter.
