Advanced performance monitor
user guide
This chapter contains updates to the HP StorageWorks Advance Pe rformance Mo nitor Version
3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide, part number AA-RTS4C-TE.
On page 35, under the heading “Managing Performance Monitoring with Telnet
Commands,” replace the existing text with the following:
Telnet commands provide access to four different types of performance monitoring:
■ AL_PA monitoring
■ End-to-end monitoring
■ Filter-based monitoring
■ ISL monitoring (supported only in Fabric OS v3.2.x)
On page 37, immediately before the heading “Telnet Commands,” add the following:
1
ISL Monitoring
Note: ISL monitoring is supported only in Fabric OS v3.2.x.
ISL monitoring measures the outbound traffic going through an ISL on the domain level.
Using the information gathered, you can identify how the ISLs are used over a long period of
time.
13Fabric OS 3.x Document Addendum
Advanced performance monitor user guide
On page 37, at the end of Chapter 3, add the following:
Using ISL Monitoring
Note: ISL monitoring is supported only in Fabric OS v3.2.x.
ISL monitoring measures the amount of traffic each destination domain contributes to the
overall traffic. If ISL monitors exceed 16 domains on a single trunk, approximate values are
estimated. An ISL is considered a single entity even if it is a trunk or a single E_Port. If a trunk
is to be monitored, the master trunk port is used to identify the ISL. The ISL monitor is
discontinued when the master trunk port goes offline.
ISL monitoring is enabled by default, except when using HP Fabric Manager, for which ISL
monitoring must be enabled on a per-switch basis. For more information, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Fabric Manager User Guide.
You can display existing ISL monitors using the perfMonitorShow command. You can
clear ISL monitor counters using the perfMonitorClear command.
Displaying ISL Monitors
Use the perfMonitorShow command to display all the ISL-based monitors on a specified
port. This command displays the following information:
■ 64-bit cumulative ISL transmit counter
■ 64-bit cumulative transmit counter for each individual domain
■ Total number of domains being monitored
■ Number of ports in the ISL
The following example displays ISL monitors on port 7. In the example, there is one port in
the ISL. Sixteen domains are monitored because there are routes going to those domains
through this ISL
switch:admin> perfmonitorshow "ISL", 7
Total transmit count for this ISL: 21748 g 780204495
Number of destination domains monitored: 16
Number of ports in this ISL: 1
Domain 84: 0 Domain 88: 0
Domain 89: 0 Domain 90: 0
Domain 91: 0 Domain 92: 0
Domain 95: 21748 g 780182720 Domain 96: 104
Domain 100: 36 Domain 102: 0
Domain 105: 0 Domain 110: 0
Domain 80: 112 Domain 81: 21299
Domain 82: 112 Domain 83: 112

Clearing ISL Monitors
Use the perfMonitorClear command to clear ISL monitor counters.
The following example clears statistical counters for an ISL monitor.
switch:admin> perfmonitorclear "ISL", 0
This will clear ISL monitor on port 0, continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
ISL monitor on port 0 is cleared

On original page 28, under the heading “Fabric Tree,” after the following text:
■ A Fabric Admin tool bar which provides access to fabric level administration functionality
including: Fabric Events, Topology, Name Server, and Zoning Admin.
Add this text:
The Fabric Tree status is updated at different time intervals, depending on the number of
switches in the fabric. On average, for a fa bric with up to 12 switches, the Fabric Tree status is
updated every 30 seconds. For every additional 12 switches in the fabric, an additional 30
seconds is required to update the Fabric T ree status. The Switch Information View displays the
last time the Fabric Tree status was updated.
You can also manually refresh the status of a switch within the fabric by right-clicking the
name of that switch in the Fabric Tree and selecting Refresh. The Switch Information View
displays the Polled At field, which identifies the last time the information was updated.

Advanced Web Tools user guide
Specific browser settings are required for the correct operation of Web Tools with Internet
Explorer or Mozilla (supported on Solaris only).
Configuring Internet Explorer
Correct operation of Web Tools with Internet Explorer requires specifying the appropriate
settings for browser refresh frequency. Browser pages should be refreshed frequently to ensure
the correct operation of Web Tools.

1. Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
2. Select the General tab and click Settings (under Temporary Internet Files).
3. Under Check for newer versions of stored pages, select Every visit to the page.
Configuring Mozilla
Some browsers use local cache copies of .jar files and image files to improve performance
(depending on the options selected in the browser), which can cause incorrect displays in Web
Tools. The Web browser cache must be cleared before invoking Web Tools.
To clear the cache and set the refresh frequency:
1. Select Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Advanced in the Category box to expand it and then click Cache.
3. On the Cache panel, click Clear Cache.

Two and Four Domain Fabric Licensing
If your fabric includes a switch with a license for a limited number of switches in the fabric
and the fabric exceeds the switch limit indicated in the license, Web Tools allows a 45-day
grace period in which you can still monitor the switch.
Web Tools displays warning messages periodically, informing you that your fabric size
exceeds the supported switch configuration limit and telling you how long you have before
Web Tools will be disabled. After the 45-day grace period, you will no longer be able to
launch Web Tools from the switch with the limited switch license, if that switch still exceeds
the switch limit. Two domain/four domain fabric licensing is applicable only to 2 Gbps
switches.
