Hello All.  We have received two PerfPkgs zip files from a customer for analysis and feedback/recommendations.  When we had A9000 and A9000R Storages, I remember Sir. Andrew Greenfield used to have a nice excel tool named:  XIV-A9K CLI Excel XLS Viewer, which once fed this kind of output will in turn will give you a lot of info/insights/graphs etc for further dep dive.  Does, there exists anything like that for new FS9500(same new Flash Systems models).  If, yes, please point me to that box etc.  Or, any other well known IBM tool which can do this analysis.  (PS: I found one excel for DS8K also).  Looking for FS9500 Series. Thanks

Hi Nezih.  Thanks for the tips.  Also, I read that -  The CSV, or ZIP file, can be imported into StorM, in an automated way, to let the tool determine the peak load intervals, and use them for your monitoring. And, when I open StorM, I get the option to create a new Project and then add any model and its config info into it and model it. But, where is the option to import the Performance file into StorM.  Any idea on it.  Please advise.   Thanks

Hi Nezih. I successfully imported the Perf File. Thanks.  However, it doesn't show any stats/metrics or configuration etc. I can see errors in the log also.

Then, I tried importing an individual .csv file, and it got imported successfully and import logs have no errors at all anywhere. But still not stats/metrics/data/graphs etc. seen in view details section.

Any advise on how to get the complete reports out of these files for analysis.

Thanks

now you need to create a project, add storage to your project and create a workload with "imported data" that you already uploaded. 

also check StorM help
