Monitoring VC port performance

Management is always a big topic when discussing network peroformance. Here is another discussion:

César asked the question:

Hi friends, can anybody tell me if with ICE (maybe PMP) or any hp management tool can we monitor the bandwidth use by each port in a virtual connect?

Greg showed an example:

You can look at the statistics of each port. Just drill in via the GUI. I'd HOPE that there would be some SNMP oid/tables requests that VC firmware would return the same information. You could then point any snmp collector at these interfaces - ie MRTG, HP Openview, etc

MRTG – simple example

If you just install perl & mrtg. Follow the std mrtg install and have mrtg retrieving basic counter stats within 30min of starting.

Note: With a little investigation of what stats you need, you can reasonably quickly come up with a web page listing trending info for the VC modules etc. See below.

Any other suggestions?? Did you try this?
