Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Link_state |
Indicates the link state of this storage processor port. |
|
If the storage port is up and running, then this measure will report the value Up. If not, then, this measure will report the value Down.
The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are available in the table below:
| Numeric Value |
State |
| 0 |
Down |
| 1 |
Up |
Note:By default, this measure reports the values Up or Down to indicate the status of a port. The graph of this measure however, represents the port status using the numeric equivalents - 0 or 1. |
| Port_state |
Indicates the current state of this port. |
|
The operational state of a port can be Online, Offline or Not Applicable.
The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are available in the table below:
| Numeric Value |
State |
| 1 |
Online |
| 2 |
Offline |
| 0 |
Not Applicable |
Note:By default, this measure reports the values Online, Offline or Not Applicable to indicate the status of a port. The graph of this measure however, represents the port status using the numeric equivalents - 0 to 2. |
| SFP_state |
Indicates the SFP state of this port. |
Number |
This measure can report any one of the following values:
The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are available in the table below:
| Numeric Value |
State |
| 1 |
Online |
| 2 |
Faulted |
| 0 |
Removed |
Note:By default, this measure reports the values Online, Faulted or Removed to indicate the status of a port. The graph of this measure however, represents the port status using the numeric equivalents - 0 to 2. |
| Reads |
Indicates the number of reads per second made on this port. |
Number |
Comparing the value of these measures across ports will clearly indicate which port is overloaded - it could also shed light on irregularities in load balancing across the ports. |
| Writes |
Indicates the number of writes per second made on this port. |
Number |
| Data_reads |
Indicates the rate at which data is read through this port. |
Blocks/Sec |
|
| Data_writes
| Indicates the rate at which data is written through this port. |
Blocks/Sec |
