Creating a Flow with Performance Manager

With the Flow Configuration Wizard you can create host-to-storage, storage-to-host, or bidirectional flows. Once defined, you can add these flows to a collection configuration file to monitor the traffic between a host/storage element pair. The flows created become part of the collection options in the Performance Manager Configuration Wizard.

To create a flow using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Performance > Create Flows to launch the Flow Configuration Wizard.
  2. Choose the VSAN from which you want to create flows. Flows are defined per VSAN.
  3. Choose one of the Type radio buttons for the flow type you want to define (Host->Storage, Storage->Host, Storage->Storage, or All.
  4. Check the Clear old flows on modified switches check box if you want to remove old flow data.
  5. Check the Create flows on all cards check box if you want to create flows on all cards.
  6. Click Next to review the available flows for the chosen VSAN.
  7. Remove any flows you are not interested in.
  8. Click Finish to create the flow.

Note     The flows created become part of the collection options in the Performance Manager Configuration Wizard.
