Generating the performance information file

The performance information file is generated in CSV or ZIP format based on the setting of the "-option" parameter in the export data command.

The performance information file includes the following:

• Date: Date on which the performance data was recorded (YYYY/MM/DD)
• Time: Time at which the performance data was recorded (HH:MM)
• ID: Resource ID (for example, CL1-A when "port" was specified)
• <performance metric>: Description of the calculated performance data (for example, Total_IOPS, Write_Pending_Rate)

When you generate the performance information file, a separate file called export_metadata.csv is also output to the same directory. This metadata file contains the following information that identifies the data in the performance information file:

• Serial number: 6-digit serial number of the storage system
• Product name: Product name of the storage system (for example, VSP One B26)
• From: Start date and time (YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM) of the data (specified by the -range parameter of the export data command)
• To: End date and time (YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM) of the data (specified by the -range parameter of the export data command)
• Sampling: sampling interval (minutes) of the data

The following example shows the meta information file content:

“Serial Number”,”Product Name”,”From”,”To”,”Sampling”
"410025",”VSP One B26”,”2024/04/13 15:00”,”2024/04/14 15:00”,”5”

The following example shows content from the CSV file:

"Date","Time","ID","Total_IOPS"
"2024/04/10","18:00","CL1-A/1122334455667788<HOST_A>","10"
"2024/04/10","18:00","CL1-A/1122334455667788<HOST_A>","10"
"2024/04/10","18:00","CL1-A/1122334455667788<HOST_A>","10"

NVMe Port#

The resource "NVMe Port#" that is output by the MP group can be converted to the package location (PK LOC) format. The following table describes the correspondence between PK LOC and NVMe Port#, so that you can calculate "PK LOC".
