Creating a PM Configuration File

Performance Manager has a Configuration File Wizard, which steps you through the process of creating configuration files.

To create a configuration file, perform the following steps:

  1. Launch the wizard by selecting Create Collection from the Performance menu in Fabric Manager.
  2. Select the VSANs from which you want to collect data.
  3. Check the types of SAN objects for which you want to collect data.
  4. If you want to ignore flows with Zero counter values, check that checkbox.
  5. If you are using Cisco Traffic Analyzer, enter the URL where it is located on your network.
  6. Click Next to review the collected data.
  7. Enter the name of the file (the default is the switch’s IP address with a .XML suffix).
  8. Select the definitions that you wish to remove, then click Finish to create the configuration file.
    Note The FV Interface mentioned at the bottom of the second screen of this wizard is the Veritas virtualization interface. It is documented in the Veritas documentation.
