Table 42. Cluster Summary view - Storage Groups - SCC
Description

This view appears when an Exchange 2007 SCC cluster is selected in the Object Tree view on the Exchange Environment dashboard. It displays the following information and metrics about the active and passive storage group in the selected cluster.

Data displayed
 

I/O Log Writes Average Latency. This graph charts the average time it takes to write a log buffer to the active log file.

 

I/O Database Average Latency. This graph charts the average time, in milliseconds, that it takes to read from and write to the database file. It provides a comparison of the following counters:

•
I/O Database Reads Average Latency. Shows the average time to read from the database file.
•
I/O Database Writes Average Latency. Shows the average time to write to the database file.
 

Log Threads Waiting. This graph charts the number of threads waiting to write their data to the log to complete a database update. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the selected time interval.

 

Log Record Stalls/sec. This graph charts the number of log records that cannot be added to the log buffer because the log buffers are full. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the selected time interval.

Clusters Listing view

This embedded view is part of the Exchange Clusters Explorer Summary (All Clusters) view which appears when you select the Clusters object container in the Exchange Infrastructure view of the Exchange Explorer dashboard.

 
Table 43. Clusters Listing view
Description

Displays information about the Exchange clusters in your environment.

Data displayed

Cluster State. Indicates the highest alarm triggered for each cluster.

 

Cluster Name. Displays the name of each Exchange cluster.

 

Type. Displays the cluster type.

 

Exchange Version. Displays the version of Exchange installed on each server.

 

Cluster IP. Displays the cluster IP address.

Table 44. CPU view
Description

This view displays CPU utilization metrics for the selected Exchange server. The counters and indicators in this view change color based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Data displayed

System\Processor Queue Length. This button displays the number of threads each processor is currently servicing. This number should not be greater than five per processor.

Processor Queue Length can be used to identify when processor contention or high CPU utilization is caused by the processor capacity being insufficient to handle the assigned workload.

 

Percent Processor Time. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

•
% User Time. Shows the percentage of time that is spent in user mode. User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems.
