Gathering IOPS pattern for VNX array ?

Hi All,

Is it possible to gather the IOPS pattern for the VNX ?

Because I need to know the workload and determine the inactive period for safe upgrade of the firmware.

Thanks in advance.

    Hm.. do you mean by generating the log bundle and log a support call to EMC ?

    I was just wondering if there is a better way to view it in a graph or some sort.

    look in Navisphere Analyzer or ask support to look at the naz file (encrypted nar) file.

    How to get into that menu item to show the window above ?

    Actually my Unisphere shows this note:

    "Performance charts are not available because Analyzer software is not installed on this storage system."

    Where can I download the Analyzer ?

    is there something wrong with my Unisphere or VNX ? or do I have to look in different software to get the IOPS ?

    So my only option is to generate the diagnostic files for both SP and then submit it to EMC via email

    or through the following option below:

    yes, hit Start and let it run for 7 day. Then get with support or you local EMC TC and ask them to assist with interpreting info from the naz file. They can take your naz file and run it through MiTrend and give you some nice graphs.
