3.4 Analyzing the impact and severity of a problem
This section describes how to analyze the impact of the bottleneck and the severity of the problem by using, as the starting point, the CPU that was determined to be the bottleneck. Having understood the impact and severity of the problem, you can then determine the priority of actions to be taken.
Procedure
-
In the Analyze Bottleneck window, click Check Impact.

The window for analyzing the impact and severity of a problem appears.
-
Based on the displayed Name and Status of the consumers, you can understand the severity of the problem and its impact on consumers.
As needed, change the priority of actions to be taken and initiate contact with consumers who are affected or might become affected by the bottleneck.
Next steps
Analyze the cause of the bottleneck and take action.
- Note
-
You can use JP1/OA to check the impact of the problem location that you reported to the storage administrator.
In this example, click the volume that you reported to the storage administrator. Then, from the displayed menu, select Check Impact to display the Analyze Bottleneck window. In this window, you can check lists of related consumers and virtual machines to understand the impact of the problem location.
If necessary, report the impact of the volume to the storage administrator.
