Downloading historical disk-performance statistics

You can access the FTP or SFTP interface on the storage system and use the get perf command to download historical disk-performance statistics for all disks in the storage system. This command downloads the data in CSV format to a file, for import into a spreadsheet or other third-party application.

The number of data samples downloaded is fixed at 100 to limit the size of the data file to be generated and transferred. The default is to retrieve all the available data (up to six months) aggregated into 100 samples. You can specify a different time range by specifying a start and end time. If the specified time range spans more than 100 15-minute samples, the data will be aggregated into 100 samples.

The resulting file will contain a row of property names and a row for each data sample, as shown in the following example. For property descriptions, see the topic about the disk-hist-statistics basetype in the CLI Reference Guide.
"sample-time","durable-id","serial-number","number-of-ios", ...
"2012-01-26 01:00:00","disk_1.1","PLV2W1XE","2467917", ...
"2012-01-26 01:15:00","disk_1.1","PLV2W1XE","2360042", ...
...

Use a command-line-based FTP/SFTP client. A UI-based FTP/SFTP client might not work.
