IBM Spectrum Control™, a member of the IBM Spectrum Storage™ Suite, now includes a wizard that you can use to export bulk performance data for a storage system or fabric to a compressed file. If you contact IBM Support to help you analyze a performance problem with a resource, you might be asked to send this file.

You can export performance data for the following types of resource: storage systems, nodes, modules, I/O groups, host connections, pools, RAID arrays, managed disks, disks, volumes, file systems, switches, ports, and inter-switch connections.

All you need to do is right-click the resource, click Create Performance Support Package, then follow the steps in the wizard.

You can also use a script to export performance data.

To learn more about IBM Spectrum Control, see the IBM Spectrum Control documentation.

The IBM Spectrum Storage family includes six software offerings: IBM Spectrum Accelerate™, IBM Spectrum Archive™, IBM Spectrum Control, IBM Spectrum Protect™, IBM Spectrum Scale™ and IBM Spectrum Virtualize™.
