The PI_PTSX record stores the performance data indicating the performance of storage system ports. However, you cannot collect performance data about mainframe systems. You can collect performance data about mainframe system ports by using the PI_MPTS record.
Collection Interval
The items in (1) and (2) below all have the same field name (PORT_NUMBER), but the values output to the items in (1) are different from those output to the items in (2).
- the PORT_NUMBER field of the PD_PTC record or the PI_PTS record
- the PORT_NUMBER field of the PI_MPTS record or the PI_PTSX record
For this reason, if you want to check whether the port information of one record matches that of another, check the PORT_NAME field.
