IBM Spectrum Control™ offers a single pane of glass to monitor the performance of all your IBM Spectrum Scale™ clusters. ‬

‬In this video, you learn how to use IBM Spectrum Control to compare the performance of multiple IBM Spectrum Scale clusters and then analyze the clusters that have the heaviest I/O loads or the longest response times.‪‬

Learn how to use the following techniques to identify performance issues and bottlenecks in your storage:‬

• Analyze the performance of all your clusters over a period to determine which clusters have the heaviest I/O loads or the longest response times.
• View which of the nodes that mount a file system have the heaviest I/O loads and highest CPU utilization.
• Compare the file systems on a cluster to determine which file systems have the heaviest I/O loads and the longest response times.
• Monitor the performance of SAN attached volumes that are backing the NSDs‪ in the cluster.‬ If you have block storage devices, such as IBM Spectrum Accelerate™ or IBM FlashSystem™,  that are providing storage for your clusters, you can monitor the block volumes backing the NSDs.
