HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.2 Install Guide (T1789-96317, May 2011)

NOTE:
To ensure optimal performance and results, the maximum number of LDEVs for data collection is
6000. This is the total number of LDEVs across all the XP and the P9000 disk arrays that are visible
to a particular host agent. You can decrease the LDEV count by restricting the total number of LDEVs
that are visible to the host. You can also increase the LDEV count by exposing more number of LDEVs
to the host agent.
Checking std*out.log file size
The std*out.log file is created after an installation or upgrade process. It contains debug and
error messages related to P9000 Performance Advisor, and located in the
<Installation_Drive>:\HPSS\PA\Tomcat\Logs folder on your management station. If the
data stored in the log file grows in size, from MBs to GBs, you might see the following associated
issues:
• Disk space issues on your management station. To release the occupied disk space, see Releasing
disk space on a management station on page 139.
• Upgrade log file, xpslperf_UpgradeScript.log not created or created with errors in it. To
resolve, see Checking whether the upgrade log file is created on page 139.
Releasing disk space on a management station
To create free disk space on your management station:
• If the disk volume where P9000 Performance Advisor is installed contains any non-P9000 Perform-
ance Advisor related data, move that data to another disk volume or delete the non-P9000 Per-
formance Advisor data.
• If the disk volume where P9000 Performance Advisor is installed contains only P9000 Performance
Advisor related data, complete the following steps:
1. Stop the P9000 Performance Advisor services (Start > Programs > HP Storageworks > Stop
services).
2. Move the data located in HPSS\cache folder to another location on the management station.
3. Move the logs in the pa\tomcat\logs folder to another location on the management station.
4. Start the P9000 Performance Advisor services (Start > Programs > HP Storageworks > Start
services).
In this case, even though the P9000 Performance Advisor database space is released, this disk
space can only be used for Oracle database activities and cannot be used by other system com-
ponents.
Checking whether the upgrade log file is created
Verify that the upgrade log file, xpslperf_UpgradeScript.log is created. You can look for the
log file in the <Windows_Volume>:\HPSS\Padb\ora_db folder. You can also type %HOMEPATH%
at Start > Run, if this system variable has been configured on your management station.
Contact your HP technical support to get this issue resolved. If the log file is created and you are
sending an email to your HP technical support, provide the log file as an attachment.
