Abstract:
A virtualized storage system comprises at least one host, at least one virtual array, a backend array and a management server. The host requests storage operations to the virtual array, and the virtual array executes storage operations for the host. The backend array, coupled to the virtual array, comprises physical storage for the virtual array. The management server determines the efficiency for the virtual array. The management server determines an input throughput data rate between the host and the virtual array based on storage operations between host and virtual array. The management server also determines an output throughput data rate, from the virtual array to the backend array. The output throughput data rate is based on the storage operations that require access to the backend array. The management server determines the efficiency of the virtual array using the input throughput data rate and the output throughput data rate.
Abstract:
A method of displaying health information of a system asset in a computer system, the method including: accessing a data log associated with the system asset, wherein the data log includes a store of the health information of the system asset, identifying a plurality of state entries in the store of the health information, each of the state entries including a timestamp and a state of the system asset at the respective time stamp, generating a timeline based on the state entries, the timeline having a plurality of chronological portions defined by the timestamps, wherein each portion of the timeline is assigned a visual cue based on a state associated with its respective state entries, and visually rendering the timeline upon a computer display.
