3-2 Preparing for Performance Manager Operations
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Performance Manager User’s Guide
System Requirements
To use Performance Manager, you need:
• USP V/VM storage system
• Performance Manager software (Server Priority Manager is optional, but
Performance Monitor is required)
• A Web client computer (intended for use as a Storage Navigator) connected
to USP V/VM via LAN.
To use Performance Manager, you use the Web client computer to log on to
the SVP (Web server). When you are logged on, the Storage Navigator
program, which is a Java application program, will be downloaded to the Web
client computer. You can then perform Performance Monitor operations in the
Storage Navigator window.
For a summary of Web client computer requirements, see the Storage
Navigator User’s Guide.
Performance Manager operations require the Storage Navigator program,
which is downloaded to your WWW client computer. Your WWW client
computer must be connected to the USP V/VM storage system via LAN.
Browser settings are also required on your WWW client computer. For details,
see the Storage Navigator User’s Guide.
Caution: Performance Manager operations (Performance Monitor and Server
Priority Manager) involve the collection of large amounts of monitoring data.
This requires considerable Web client computer memory. It is therefore
recommended that you exit the Storage Navigator program to release system
memory when not conducting Performance Manager operations.
For details on how to install Performance Monitor and Server Priority Manager,
see the Storage Navigator User’s Guide.
