How to Access Performance Displays

You can display performance history from the following locations:

Display Performance History from the IP Resource Monitor

The IP Resource Monitor displays the status of the IP resources that are monitored at your site. From the monitor, you can display the performance history of a resource in which you are interested.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter /IPMON at the prompt.

    The IP Resource Monitor appears.

  2. Enter H next to the resource for which you want to display performance history.

    The History panel appears.

  3. Use the actions and function keys to display various performance aspects.

    Note: For information about the actions and function keys, press F1 (Help).

Note: For a STACK resource, you have available other commands for displaying performance history.

Display Performance History from the IP Node Monitor

The IP Node Monitor displays the status of the IP nodes that are monitored at your site. From the monitor, you can display the performance history of a node in which you are interested.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter /IPNODE at the prompt.

    The IP Node Monitor appears.

  2. Enter H next to the IP node for which you want to display performance history.

    The History panel appears.

  3. Use the actions and function keys to display various performance aspects.

    Note: For information about the actions and function keys, press F1 (Help).

Display Performance History from Resource Management Menus

A Management menu for a resource class (for example, stack) provides options that let you display the performance history of a resource.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter /DIAG at the prompt.

    The Network Diagnosis primary menu appears.

  2. Select the option for the class of the resource in which you are interested (for example, ST for stacks).

    The Management menu for that class of resources appears.

  3. Identify the resource for which you want to display performance history, and select Option H.

    Depending on the class of resource, either the History panel (which lists the attributes) appears or there are intervening panels before the list appears.

  4. Use the actions and function keys to display various performance aspects.

Note: For information about the actions and function keys, press F1 (Help).

Display Performance History from the Performance Overviews Menu

The Performance Overviews Menu lets you review the performance of various IP components.

To display performance history

  1. Enter /PERF at the prompt.

    The Performance Overviews Menu appears.

    PROD-------------------- Performance Overviews Menu -----------------------CO11 Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR S=Show Performance Overview from CO11 Business Views Business Applications Applications Telnet Applications Address Spaces CSM Sessions and Connections Stack IP Connections Home Addresses Network IP Connections Stack Telnet Connections Network Telnet Connections Stack FTP Connections FTP Users Network FTP Connections Protocols and Ports Stack IP, TCP, and UDP Ports IP Networking Stack IP, TCP, and UDP IP Nodes Logical Devices Enterprise Extender (not monitored) Enterprise Extender Connections APPN/HPR VIPA (not monitored) Devices and Links Stack Network Interfaces OSA Cards Cisco Channel Cards (not monitored) **END**

  2. Enter S beside the performance overview you want to display.

    The overview appears. You can sort the displayed list by a column. Press F4 (Sort) repeatedly to cycle through the columns.

    The following example shows an overview of connection workload by business applications:

Display Related Overview

From some performance overviews, you can display related overviews. For example, if you are viewing FTP workload by stack, you can switch to FTP workload by user.

To display a related overview, press F12 (Related).
