    Exercise 4: Monitor Adaptive OptimizationThe StoreVirtual Performance Monitor provides real-time performance monitoring ofstorage clusters down to 5 second intervals. A large number of metrics are available thatcharacterize performance latencies, IOPs, queue depth, page size, and many othercounters critical to understanding and evaluating performance. Data can be viewed inthe Centralized

    Management Console as counters, graphically via charts and can also be exported via logfiles (csv files) and SNMP traps.

    Adaptive Optimization adds a new set of performance and usage counters to the HPStoreVirtual Centralized Management Console. AO statistics have their own monitorlocated under the cluster Performance Monitor area of the management tree. Many ofthe same performance metrics available for volumes are present but now broken downby each tier for individual volumes and storage systems. The Adaptive Optimizationmonitor is modeled after the cluster Performance Monitor and located directly under the

    Performance Monitor. The “Adaptive Optimization” monitor is a ccessed under the“Performance Monitor” node in the left -hand pane of the CMC for clusters that are AOenabled. Each console can be opened in its own separate windows for easy side-by-sideanalysis and comparison.

    2. The report shows the data movement indicated with the Blue and red line (Tier0 andTier1).

    Use Adaptive Optimization volume capacity metrics to view utilization Volume levelmetrics available in the Adaptive Optimization console. These include capacity utilizationof each tier, as well as each volume by tier. The following list of capacity metrics showthe information available.

    Percent Volume Space All Tiers Used % of all tiers that volume is currentlyconsuming

    Percent Volume Space Tier 0 Used % of volume that currently resides on Tier 0

    Percent Volume Space Tier 1 Used % of volume that currently resides on Tier 1

    Volume Space All Tiers Used Total physical capacity consumed by volume in GB Volume Space Tier 0 Used Total physical capacity of Tier 0 consumed by volume in

    GB

    Volume Space Tier 1 Used Total physical capacity of Tier 1 consumed by volume inGB

    These capacity amounts show the amount of physical space consumed after taking intoaccount the Network RAID type used.

    For example, if a volume shows 50 GB of consumption at the application server andNetwork RAID 10 is being used for the volume on the cluster, the total physical capacityof the cluster consumed would be 100 GB.

    If the Percent Volume Space Tier 0 Used is 5 percent, this equates to 5 GB of physicalcapacity consumed within Tier 0 for the volume. Due to Preferred Page technologydescribed earlier in the information, 5 GB consumed in Tier 0 means another 5 GB wouldbe consumed in Tier 1 to hold the replicated Network RAID 10 copy.
