General question about Performance Manager

Have you tried selecting muliple days using Shift Lt-Click or Ctl Lt-Click?

Lan...  you deserve a cookie.

When I select multiple days or a weekly data set and then open the view for Sampled Device Read Response Time (for example), it looks like it is showing a single 24-hour view.  Since I selected a week data set, I can only assume that this is an average across the entire week.  So, it doesn't seem indicitive of any particular day.  The only way I've been able to get what appears to be a graph of a specific day is to open a single day's data set.  But, then I can't create a single graph showing me the IO changes day to day.

thank you Lan, is there a way to do it with Weekly graphs ? I tried to select two weekly data sets and when i click on "continues time" it creates this huge gap so the graph does not make any sense.

Thanks

You might want to use pmcli

When I want to modulate performance data I sometimes export data with pmcli .... so here is a tip how do do this for a specific performance matrix for all the Symmetrix'es you had WLA data collected. I use this on my XP PC with the "UNIX like" commands installed.... = you need awk and grep...

C:\> FOR /F %I IN ('"pmcli -ls -server xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz -date -type interval | grep Symmetrix | awk "{print $2}""') do pmcli -export -out %I_Kbytes_written_per_sec.txt -class Symmetrix -id %I -date 20110221 -type interval -c system -m "Kbytes Written per sec"

You can off corce  substitute symmetrix to Host matrix'es (or any WLA object that you collect data from) if you want...

Hi Lars, how do you specify which symmetrix you are running this command against ?

:-) - Thanks for you accurate comment.
