HP 3PAR storage Commands to troubleshoot performance issues

Running STATVLUN in the following order should lead to the resolution of a few performance issues: 1)      “statvlun –ni”   – The STATVLUN command without any switches will show the round trip time of IO on each path for exported Virtual Volumes.
