contain performance metrics for host groups, ports, LDEVs, RAID groups, CPU, DKC, and Array
utilization of the selected XP or P9000 disk arrays. You can also view the Sync/Async performance
metrics for P-VOLs and S-VOLs, and the CA Journal metrics for the consistency groups. Multiple .csv
output files are generated for each selection of P-VOLs and S-VOLs, or continuous access journals,
and includes additional performance metrics of the associated ports, CLPRs, and RAID groups.
