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:
- Choose Performance > Create Flows to launch the Flow Configuration Wizard.
- Choose the VSAN from which you want to create flows. Flows are defined per VSAN.
- Choose one of the Type radio buttons for the flow type you want to define (Host->Storage, Storage->Host, Storage->Storage, or All.
- Check the Clear old flows on modified switches check box if you want to remove old flow data.
- Check the Create flows on all cards check box if you want to create flows on all cards.
- Click Next to review the available flows for the chosen VSAN.
- Remove any flows you are not interested in.
- Click Finish to create the flow.
Note The flows created become part of the collection options in the Performance Manager Configuration Wizard.
