Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) performance data can be measured on Red Hat Enterprise Linux instances on the IBM System z platform. Metrics that are collected and reported on include:
* Performance relevant data on stack components such as Linux devices, Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) and Host Bus Adapter (HBA) storage controller information.
* Per stack component: current values of relevant measurements as throughput, utilization and other applicable measurements.
* Statistical aggregations (minimum, maximum, averages and histogram) of data associated with I/O requests including size, latency per component and totals.

Posted to rhkernel on Feb 13. by Hans-Joachim Picht <hpicht> Updating PM score. Please do not forget to update documentation and/or release notes: Provides FCP performance data like, SCSI stack, SCSI LUNs, HBA, storage controller information... ??? More details under: ??? ???I/O tracing using blktrace???, ???Collecting FCP performance data with ziomon??? in latest version of How to use FC-attached SCSI devices with Linux on System z at: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/development_documentation.html Thank you!

=Comment: #0================================================= Emily J. Ratliff <ratliff.com> - 1. Feature Overview: Feature Id: [201590] a. Name of Feature: FCP - Performance Data collection (kernel) b. Feature Description The item comprises: a) facilities which provide performance relevant data (see below) at any time b) facilities which collect the data provided by a), then associate it with a time stamp and and store it for future processing - these facilities are configurable in regard of the type and amount of data collected for the purpose of reducing the amount of temporarily stored data. - when data is taken as samples, the sampling interval is configurable - collected data can be filtered by e.g masks for valid stack components (see below) before data is stored for further processing c) facilities which present the data stored by b) in a human readable way. d) Data presented shall contain enough information to make FCP performance data comparable with current capabilities of FICON data collections. Data collected comprises: a) Performance relevant data about stack components as Linux devices, SCSI LUNs and HBA and storage controller information b) Per stack component: current values of relevant measurements as throughput, utilization and other applicable measurements c) Statistical aggregations (min, max average, histogram) of data associated with I/O requests as size, latency per component and in total. 2. Feature Details: Sponsor: zSeries Architectures: s390x Arch Specificity: Both Affects Core Kernel: Yes Affects Kernel Modules: Yes Delivery Mechanism: Backport Category: Kernel Request Type: Kernel - Enhancement from Upstream d. Upstream Acceptance: Accepted Sponsor Priority 1 f. Severity: High IBM Confidential: no Code Contribution: IBM code g. Component Version Target: 2.6.28 3. Business Case This item will make possible to have a better understanding of the SCSI activities and performance of the customer system, being able afterward to better solve FCP issues regarding customer's SCSI workloads. 4.
