Linking with PA
By linking Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager to PA, the usage rate and performance
information (including IOPS for parity groups) can be checked, and the PA GUI can be launched from
Device Manager or Tiered Storage Manager.
Prerequisites for displaying performance information
The prerequisites for displaying performance information obtained by PA in the Mobility tab are as
follows:
• PA has been set up.
For details about the system requirements and setup method, see the PA manual.
• The CLI client library has been installed.
For details about installing the CLI client library, see the PA manuals.
• The server time zone for PA server and for Device Manager server must match.
If the time zone differs between the servers, the performance information are not displayed. In
addition, we recommend that both server time matches.
