Viewing Analysis Results

Prerequisites

A storage I/O diagnosis task has been created and the analysis is complete.

Procedure

  1. In the System Diagnosis area on the left, click the name of the target analysis task.

    The node list is displayed.

  2. Click a node name to view the analysis result, as shown in Figure 1. Table 1 describes the parameters.

    Table 1 Parameters in the pressure test result

    Parameter

    Description

    Pressure Test Object

    Object that has been tested.

    Request Block Size

    Size of the request block.

    Read/Write Mode

    Read or write mode.

    I/O Queue Depth

    Depth of an I/O queue.

    I/O Engine

    I/O engine.

    Concurrency

    Concurrency statistics.

    Direct I/O

    Indicates whether to read the buffer first.

    I/O Size (MiB)

    Size of the I/O.

    Test Duration (s)

    Time used by the test.

    Read Throughput

    Throughput of reads.

    Write Throughput

    Throughput of writes.

    Read IOPS

    Read throughput per second.

    Write IOPS

    Write throughput per second.

    Read Latency

    Latency of read operations.

    Write Latency

    Latency of write operations.

    Throughput (KiB/s)

    Total throughput.

    IOPS

    Total throughput per second.

    Latency (ms)

    Total latency.

    Latency

    Type

    Latency type.

    Max. (ms)

    Maximum latency.

    Min. (ms)

    Minimum latency.

    Average (ms)

    Average latency.

    Standard Variance (ms)

    Standard variance of the latency.

    Latency Distribution

    Latency Range (ms)

    Distribution range of the latency.

    Proportion (%)

    Proportion of the latency in each range.

    I/O Depth Distribution

    I/O Depth Range

    I/O depth distribution range.

    Proportion (%)

    Distribution proportion of I/Os in each depth range.

    Pressure Test Process Performance

    %user

    Percentage of CPU time occupied when the pressure test process is running in user mode.

    %system

    Percentage of CPU time occupied when the pressure test process is running in kernel mode. This metric does not include the time spent on service hardware and software interrupts.

    context switches

    Number of times that the pressure test process is switched.

    major page faults

    Number of major page faults of the pressure test process. When a virtual memory address is mapped to a physical memory address, the corresponding page is in the swap memory. Such page faults are major page faults, which are generated when the memory is insufficient. Pages need to be loaded from the drive.

    minor page faults

    Number of secondary page faults of the pressure test process, that is, number of page faults generated when a virtual memory address is mapped to a physical memory address. No page needs to be loaded from the drive.

    Storage Device Performance

    Device Name

    Name of the device for which the pressure test is performed.

    I/O number

    Total number of I/O times executed by the pressure test process.

    merge number

    Total number of merged I/Os in the pressure test process.

    tick number

    Total number of ticks when the drive is busy.

    time spent in queue

    Time spent in the queue.

    util(%)

    Drive usage statistics.

  3. Click the Task Information tab to view the detailed configuration and sampling information about the task on the current node.

    If a task fails to be executed, the failure cause will be displayed on the Task Information tab page.

    If some data fails to be collected but the overall task execution is not affected, you can view the exception message in Exception Information.

    Collection End Cause displays the reason why the data collection of the current task ends, for example, "Task collection times up" or "File size reaches the collection limit."
