Copying performance thresholds properties Performance thresholds Modifying performance thresholds

Perform this task to copy performance threshold properties from one storage device to another storage device.

Context

You can copy the following thresholds on the Performance Threshold summary panel for a selected device.

Note:Note: Not all of the listed thresholds are displayed for a selected device. The thresholds are device dependent.
Disk Utilization
Percent of time busy
Percent of sequential I/Os
Percent of sequential I/Os
Nonvolatile Storage
Percent of time full
Average cache holding time
Measured in seconds
I/O rate
Total number of I/O requests
VDisk I/O rate
Total number of virtual disk I/Os for each I/O group
VDisk bytes per second
Virtual disk bytes per second for each I/O group
MDisk I/O rate
Total number of managed disk I/Os for each managed disk group
MDisk bytes per second
For each managed disk group
Data transaction (count per second)
Total server-level data transaction rate
Data transaction for updates (count per second)
Total server-level data transaction rate for updates to system objects
Steps

Perform the following steps to copy thresholds from one storage device to another storage device:

  1. Click Multiple Device Manager (MDM) on the IBM Director Tasks pane. MDM tasks are displayed.
    Note:Note: You can also view the Performance Threshold summary panel by accessing the IBM Director Scheduler or by selecting the performance data collection task in the IBM Director Task pane.
  2. Click Performance Manager. MDM Performance Manager tasks are displayed.
  3. Drag the Thresholds icon from the Task pane to the Group Contents pane of the IBM Director.
  4. Drop the icon on a storage device in the Group Contents pane. The Thresholds panel opens.

    The Threshold summary panel lists the thresholds, threshold status, threshold values, alert, and filter information available for selected storage devices. Each device has multiple line items, one for each threshold.

  5. Select the threshold that you want to copy from the Thresholds table.
  6. Click Copy threshold properties. The Copy threshold properties panel opens.
  7. Select the host name or the IP address of the device to which you want to copy threshold properties in the Thresholds table.
    Note:Note: For some devices a filter is associated with a threshold. Ensure that you are copying to a device of the same type.
  8. Repeat for each threshold that you want to copy.
Result

The thresholds from the selected device are now copied to another device
