In order to visualize the activity of a storage unit, refer to the ReadByteRate and WriteByteRate parameters of the SEN_I68_STORAGEUNIT class. These parameters represent the overall traffic in megabytes per second for each monitored storage unit, or more precisely, each IBM storage unit that is exposed through the IBM Storage Manager (see the Installation Guide for more information about the IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager). Verifying a storage unit activity1.In the console, double-click the ReadByteRate parameter of the storage unit you are interested in. A graph is automatically displayed in the graph pane. 2.Drag the WriteByteRate parameter of the same storage unit in the graph.
Selecting Storage Unit's Parameters The overall activity can also be reported in GB per hour or per day (instead of MB/sec) so SAN administrators can visualize how much data has been written to or read off the storage unit each hour of the day or each day of the week (see the Reporting the total traffic on an hourly or daily basis section for more information on this subject).
