HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.3 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96322, August 2011)

IMPORTANT:
You can configure and activate alarms on components only if you have logged into P9000 Performance
Advisor as an Administrator, or a user who is granted administrator privileges.
Once the alarms are activated, you can view history for these alarms, which provides data on the
following:
• When the performance of components went beyond or dropped below the set threshold limits
• Time stamps of alarm notifications dispatched to the intended recipients
You can also view the corresponding performance graphs for components on which alarms are
generated. The following are the high level sequence of steps you must perform to activate alarms
and view history for configured alarms:
1. Select components in the component selection tree under Alarms (see the following image).
2. Select the associated metrics for which the components must be monitored from the Choose
Metrics box. Click Add Alarms for the selected components to be displayed in the Alarms table
under the Alarm Configuration tab. The selected components can belong to an individual XP or
a P9000 disk array, or a custom group. For more information on selecting components and
metrics, see “Adding or removing metric values” on page 144.
