Managing custom groups
P9000 Performance Advisor enables you to create custom groups, where you add the LDEVs that you
want to monitor frequently. The LDEVs can belong to the same or different XP disk arrays or P9000
disk arrays. After the configuration collection is complete for the XP and the P9000 disk arrays, the
associated LDEV IDs and their details are displayed on the Custom Groups screen.
The Custom Groups screen appears when you click Settings in the left pane and select Custom Groups
from the list. You can scroll through the list of records on the Custom Groups screen to select LDEV
records and add them to a custom group. You can filter the existing list of LDEV records based on the
associated ACP pairs, ports, and the RAID groups. In addition, you can also filter the LDEV records
based on an XP or a P9000 disk array, host, or a combination of them to view only those LDEV
records that match your specific requirement. For example, LDEV records can be filtered based on
the following combination: ACP pair, host, XP and P9000 disk array.
After you create a custom group, you can:
• View the performance summary of the associated LDEVs. For more information, see “Viewing
performance summary” on page 206
