## Configuring Parallel Monitoring Parameters

You can specify the number of switches and Sun StorEdge arrays to be probed simultaneously. Probing more than one device at a time accelerates the monitoring frequency of the device type and improves the timeliness of event reporting.

Note: Increasing the number of devices that are monitored in parallel increases the amount of system resources that are used. It is recommended that no more than 5-10 devices be monitored in parallel.

To configure parallel monitoring parameters:

1. Go to the Sun Web Console and click Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment. > Administration > Options.
   The Options page is displayed.
2. From the Number of switches to probe at the same time list, select the maximum number of switches to be probed simultaneously
3. From the Number of Sun StorEdge arrays to probe at the same time list, select the maximum number of arrays to be probed simultaneously
4. Click Save.
