Graphing Port Performance
SANsurfer Performance View application displays port performance using graphs.
SANsurfer Performance View plots data communication rates and total errors for
selected ports as shown in Figure 5-5. When graphing data communication rates,
you can choose either frames/second or KB/second.
On Solaris platforms, if you launch the SANsurfer Performance View application
from the SANsurfer Switch Manager application and SANsurfer Performance
View can not connect to the fabric, (for example, if you have reached the
maximum number of SANsurfer Switch Manager sessions on the entry switch),
then SANsurfer Performance View opens with a blue fabric icon displayed in the
fabric tree.
Fabric status is displayed in text format after the fabric name in the fabric tree. The
color of the icon indicates the current connection status as normal (green),
warning (yellow), critical (red), or unmanageable (blue).
