3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software administration guide - HP Scalable NAS 3.7 for Linux (AG513-96002, October 2009)

16 Performance monitoring
The MxS_Perfmon*.rpm package provided with HP Clustered Filesystem provides
a Performance Dashboard that displays information for the cluster, individual servers,
and PSFS filesystems. (See the HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software installation
guide for information about installing this package.)
The Performance Dashboard provides performance data over a period of time (the
last hour, day, week, month, or year). You can view data for individual servers or
the entire cluster. Filesystem data is provided for individual PSFS filesystems and can
be aggregated for all PSFS filesystems.
Create the administrative filesystem
The Performance Dashboard uses an administrative filesystem that must be created
on the shared storage. This filesystem is also used by the replication feature. For
information about creating the filesystem, see “Create the administrative
filesystem” on page 139.
The administrative filesystem must be mounted on all nodes.
Using the Performance Dashboard
The Performance Dashboard is a web-based application. To start the dashboard,
either click the Dashboard icon on the Management Console toolbar or open a
browser and enter the following URL, where <node> is the server name or IP address
of the node that will run the dashboard.
https://<node>:6771/perfmon
The dashboard opens in the browser with a full view of the cluster to which the
connected node belongs (the Cluster Report).
