Storage subsystem
This is a storage subsystem whose performance information is to be acquired. For details on
the microcode versions that can use the performance information acquisition feature, see
subsection
1-4-1 .
The performance-acquiring host (the Device Manager agent) acquires performance information
of XP24000/XP20000 and XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 by using the command device within a
storage subsystem, and then reports it to the Device Manager server.
The system configuration that is required to acquire performance information of a storage
subsystem differs depending on the storage subsystem model. For information on
XP24000/XP20000 or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, see subsection
A-6-2.
A-6-2 Settings required to acquire performance information
of XP24000/XP20000 or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200
This section describes the settings required to acquire performance information of
XP24000/XP20000 or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
A-6-2-1 Preparations in storage subsystems
Prepare a command device for each storage subsystem from which you want to acquire
performance information, and then assign the path to the host that acquires performance
information so that the host can recognize the command device.
A-6-2-2 Preparations in the host that acquires performance information
Configure the settings shown below for the performance information-acquiring host:
To configure the settings:
1. Install the Device Manager agent.
For details on how to install the Device Manager agent, see the HP StorageWorks XP
Command View Advanced Edition software Device Manager agent installation and
configuration guide.
2. Specify settings for central management. (recommended)
3. Write the command device settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file.
To write the settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file, execute the perf_findcmddev
command or edit the file directly. For details about the settings in the
perf_cmddev.properties file, see subsection
A-6-2-4.
For details about the perf_findcmddev command, see subsection
A-6-2-5.
A-6-2-3 Preparations in the Device Manager server
For the Device Manager server property, specify the name of the host from which performance
information is acquired. To specify the host name for the server.cim.agent property in the
server.properties file, use one of the following methods:
When specifying the host name during the installation of the Device Manager server:
Enter the host name as indicated in the message displayed during the installation of the Device
manager server.
The entered host name will be set for the server.cim.agent property in the
server.properties file.
When directly editing the server.properties file:
