EVA5000, MSA1500 & MSA1000 Performance monitoring

[graham Hyland]

Hello,
Im fairly new to SANs but was looking for some help regarding performance monitoring. I have the HP array Diagnostics tool but cannot really understand the output. I'm looking for something shinny with graphs and the likes. our sanmanager is running w2k3.
Thanks
Graham

Hi,

the following tools could be used for the
perf monitoring:

EVA

OR

I use the following Tools/procedures:

- collect performance data with EVAPerf
- convert Logfile output with evaperf-tlviz-format.exe (you find this in the folder where EVAPerf is installed
- visualize the converted data with TLVIZ (GUI) or CSVPNG (for automating chart creation)

You will find these downloads here:

It also works perfect on Windows. It doesn't need OpenVMS.

There is also the possability to dump the data with TLVIZ-Format into an Microsoft Access DB. Then you could write your own Queries, Reports, etc.)
