Creating Volumes with TPC

Storage Administrators can provision storage directly from TPC

– Assign Host Ports

– Assign Volumes to Subsystem Ports

– Create/Assign Fabric Zone

– Define RAID Level

– Create/Delete Volumes

– Label Volumes

TPC Administrators can directly allocate storage, zonethe fabric switches and assign the host ports

Storage and Fabric Bottleneck Analysis

TPC for Fabric monitors switches and ports for throughput rates and allows you to specify throughput threshold

TPC for Disk monitors disk subsystem ports, subsystem arrays, disk volumes for throughput, I/O and cache rates, as well as for response times

Thresholds can be set for these metrics and alerts are generated when thresholds are violated, indicating potential bottlenecks. TPC Topology console will show all performance violations and propagate the thresholds events through performance health monitor icons

Storage administrator can see end to end view of fabric and disk subsystem performance and assess business impact and drill into potential or actual problem areas

SAN Predictive Fault Monitoring Most SAN link failures due to deteriorating Fibre Optics

– Typically appear as intermittent frame errors long before hard failure

TPC 3.1 provides Error Frame Rate Report that identifies suspect ports

– The average number of frames received in error, per second, for specified ports

Recommend setting this switch alert (recommended values still being investigated)
