Using Your Own Values
To view a table of predicted future performance with your own values using Fabric Manager Web Server, follow these steps:
- Choose Performance > Prediction.
- Expand a fabric and select one of the VSANs to specify that the prediction report will be generated for that VSAN.
- Select the period of time (Week, Month, 3 Months, 6 Months or Year) to use to predict performance from the past drop-down list.
- Select the period of time (Week, Month, 3 Months, 6 Months or Year) for which to make the prediction from the future drop-down list.
- Enter the threshold percentage (1-100) of utilization that you do not want the traffic to exceed.
- Enter the number of ISLs, hosts, storage devices, or flows for which you want to make the prediction. The prediction will show the top 10, top 20, or top 50 with the most traffic.
- Select the type of traffic prediction to show:
- AverageThe average value of all the sample data is used.
- PeakThe average value of all the peak values is used. The number of peak values is obtained by dividing the total number of records into groups based on the number you enter in the Use Peak Value of Every xx Records field. For example, if you have 1000 records and you enter 100 into the field, your records are divided into 10 groups and 10 peak values are used.
- Click Predict.
You see the prediction table with the new data. Click the links in the Name column to show performance charts based on the history data.
