Abstract
A method for monitoring a computer system, the method comprising the steps of analyzing access requests, thereby determining its respective waiting time period, detecting from the waiting time periods selected waiting time periods which exceed a predetermined threshold value, retrieving information relating to waiting access requests which are associated with selected waiting time periods, retrieving information relating to at least one storage unit, which is associated with waiting access requests; and retrieving information relating to at least one storage device, containing at least one storage unit.
Claims10
In a computer system including a plurality of storage devices and processing means connected thereto, the storage devices containing a plurality of storage units, the processing means processing a plurality of access requests of a particular session to the storage units, a method for monitoring said computer system implemented in a software object the method comprising the steps of:
- analyzing each of said access requests, thereby determining its respective I/O waiting time period;
- detecting from said waiting time periods selected waiting time periods which exceed a predetermined threshold value;
- retrieving information relating to waiting access requests which are associated with said selected waiting time periods;
- retrieving information relating to at least one of said storage units, which is associated with said waiting access requests;
- and
- retrieving information relating to at least one storage device, containing said at least one storage unit.
