IBM System Storage Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Add aborted transfer metrics to SI

Spec V systems don't incorporate response time metrics into the performance stats for IOs that were aborted. The hosts would have actually been impacted by these IOs because IOs are typically aborted once they have hit some kind of timeout value. So under these scenarios the Spec V response time stats would show no indication of a problem but the host would have experienced performance impact.

The aborted transfer metrics should allow us to identify this type of scenario.

har

Indicates the count aborted host read operations aborted while a data transfer was in progress. This count includes I/O operations aborted by hosts, and those operations aborted internally by the system.

haw

Indicates the count aborted host write operations aborted while a data transfer was in progress. This count includes I/O operations aborted by hosts, and those operations aborted internally by the system.
