Performance Manager Performance data-collection task Replication Manager

You can use the Performance Manager component of Multiple Device Manager (MDM) to manage and monitor the performance of the storage devices that MDM supports.

Performance Manager provides the following functions:

Collecting data from devices
Performance Manager collects data from these devices:
  • IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server (ESS)
  • IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller
Configuring performance thresholds
You can use the Performance Manager to set performance thresholds for each device type. Setting thresholds for certain criteria allows Performance Manager to notify you when a certain threshold has been crossed, thus enabling you to take action before a critical event occurs.
Viewing performance data from the Performance Manager database
You can view performance data from the Performance Manager database using the gauge application programming interfaces (APIs). These gauges present performance data in graphical and tabular forms.
Obtaining the current size and location of the performance data
You can obtain the current size and location of the performance data of the Performance Manager database.
Deleting performance data
You can delete performance data from the Performance Manager database.
Improving performance
You can use allocation optimization algorithms to help you design your data layout so that it meets your performance requirements for the new space.
