Enhanced SVC GUI Performance Monitoring

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

From customer :
CPU
It would be nice to see breakdown across iogroups and nodes to show any imbalances

Vdisk metrics
Here it would be nice to be able to drill down to a vdisk level
The ability to break down vdisk metrics to host level.


Mdisk metrics
The ability to break down to mdiskgrp and individual mdisk level. The use case here is to investigate/demonstrate imbalance across mdiskgrps and also imbalance within an mdiskgrp

Interfaces:
Break down to a port level
Number of host logins on for each port – would allow to easily see how balanced
Break down to read/write traffic –V7K allows us to do this by showing SAS traffic separately
Seperation of host I/O vs backend I/O


Replication traffic:
Some metrics around replication e.g CG latency , throughput would be really helpful again a drill down into consistency group would be useful


A different approach to the screen design maybe a high level dashboard with dials with a drill down to show recent history graph.

    No near term plans for these enhancements. We recommend use of the Virtual Storage Center or Tivoli Storage Productivity Center to obtain this information.
