You can view the performance of the following objects by using interactive graphs.

Install Control Host Add-on version 6.1 and above on a managed host to view the performance graphs for the above objects. Install Storage Insight Add-on version 6.1 and above to view the performance graphs for an array port and adapter in the Storage perspective.

You can select an object and view graphs for multiple performance parameters. These graphs are line charts. The lines that represent the performance parameters are rendered in different colors. The X-axis represents the time duration and the Y-axis represents the performance parameter. Linear trend line is displayed for every performance parameter. The linear trend line is plotted by fitting a line on the historical data. Linear trend is not available for live charts.

Performance graphs for volume and disk are available if they are managed by VxVM. Performance charts for path (physical host), initiator, and enclosure are available only if they are managed by physical hosts running DMP. Performance charts of a path for a virtualization server are available only if the path is managed by the virtualization servers running VxDMP.

You can perform the following actions on the performance graphs:
