capovpaextract (1M)
NAME
capovpaextract -- Export Performance Agent (OVPA) system data from the specified managed node
and import the data into Capacity Advisor.
SYNOPSIS
Path on CMS:
• /opt/vse/bin/
capovpaextract [ -b begin-time -e end-time ] [ -p ] managed_node
capovpaextract -h
DESCRIPTION
capovpaextract exports HP Performance Agent system utilization information from the specified
managed node and imports the information into Capacity Advisor. The data returned from
managed_node overwrites any existing data for the managed node. The user must have root
privileges to run this command.
capovpaextract allows importing data from non-Matrix Operating Environment (non-Matrix
OE) systems, such as older HP-UX systems or Solaris systems so long as those systems are running
a supported Performance Agent version. Supported Performance Agent versions are listed in the
Dependencies section of this command reference page.
OPTIONS
-b start-time -e end-time
Specifies the beginning (start-time) and ending (end-time) dates of data in MM/DD/YY
(month/day/year) format. If no start or end time is given, 30 days of data are imported.
-p
Indicates that the workload whose data is being imported is a non-Matrix OE workload. This
provides an alternative to importing Performance Agent data from non-licensed systems to use in
Capacity Advisor scenarios. If a non-Matrix OE workload already exists in the Capacity Advisor
data, an error message appears. Non-Matrix OE workloads are not associated with any licensed
nodes and are not visible on the Matrix OE Workload tab.
To import non-Matrix OE workload data, use the following GUI action sequence starting from the
Planning tab: Modify -> Edit Planning Scenario -> What-If Action -> Create Workloads. Activate
the radio button “Copy Profile” and choose a non-Matrix OE workload from the “Select Workload”
list. You must know ahead of time the name of the non-Matrix OE workload.
-h
Displays command usage.
Dependencies
This command uses the remote execution facilities provided by Systems Insight Manager, and
therefore requires the configuration of SSH authentication within Systems Insight Manager for the
specified managed_node.
Capacity Advisor supports the following versions of HP Performance Agent:
