Monitoring Array

Performance

The Administrator utility monitors the performance of the arrays

and compiles statistics—for example, number of reads and writes

and number of bad sectors reassigned. With the Administrator util-

ity, you can view these performance statistics at the server console. If

you have the Adaptec CI/O software, you can also view the statistics

at a remote workstation.

The Administrator utility also monitors arrays for problems, such as

failed drives. If it detects a problem, it issues an alert. Use the Admin-

istrator utility to determine who receives the alerts and how often the

alerts repeat onscreen. If you have the Adaptec CI/O software

installed at a remote workstation, the alerts appear there also.

Obtaining Array Information

You can display the following types of information for any array on a

server:

■

An overview of the logical array characteristics (see Figure 5-1)

■

An overview of physical array characteristics and any utilities

running on the array (see Figure 5-2)

■

Performance statistics for an array and its drives
