I/O Rate (number of I/Os per second) • Statistics in sequential access mode
• Statistics in random access mode
• Statistics in CFW (cache fast write) mode
• If the read hit ratio or write hit ratio is high, random
access mode is used for transferring data instead of
sequential access mode. For example, random
access mode might be used for transferring data to
disk areas where Cache LUN XP is applied.
Read (number of read accesses per second)
1
1. Available only when I/O rates are displayed.
Write (number of write accesses per second)
1
Read Hit (read hit ratio)
Write Hit (write hit ratio)
Back Transfer (backend transfer: number of I/Os
between the cache memory and disk drives)
• Number of data transfers from the cache memory to
disk drives
• Number of data transfers from disk drives to cache
memory in sequential access mode
• Number of data transfers from disk drives to cache
memory in random access mode
Trans. Rate (number of data transfers) The graph does not display detailed information.
