15 Launching P9000 Application
Performance Extender from P9000
Performance Advisor
You can launch the P9000 Application Performance Extender from P9000 Performance Advisor GUI.
P9000 Application Performance Extender is a software that enables you to monitor, analyze, and
prioritize the performance of critical applications running on P9500, XP20000, and XP24000 Disk
Arrays. The XP and the P9000 disk array components can be prioritized by application and time, so
that high-priority host traffic experiences the best performance. P9000 Application Performance
Extender is supported on the HP-UX, Windows, and the Linux hosts that are connected to the XP and
the P9000 disk arrays.
Before launching P9000 Application Performance Extender from P9000 Performance Advisor, enter
the IP address or the DNS name of the management station in the AppIntegrations.properties
file. The management station refers to the system where P9000 Application Performance Extender is
installed.
APP1_SERVER = <IP address> or <DNS name> of the XP Application Performance Extender
management station
The AppIntegrations.properties file is located in the <Installation_drive>:hpss/pa/
properties folder on the management station, where P9000 Performance Advisor is installed.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the AppIntegrations.properties file name is not modified. P9000 Performance
Advisor refers to this file for the management station address every time it launches P9000 Applic-
ation Performance Extender.
By default, the P9000 Application Performance Extender tomcat service uses port 8080 for its
communication with P9000 Performance Advisor. If you want to use a different port number, refer
to the
HP StorageWorks P9000 Application Performance Extender Software User Guide
to verify
whether P9000 Application Performance Extender supports the port number that you want to use.
Do not modify the default values specified for the other parameters in the AppIntegra-
tions.properties file.
To launch P9000 Application Performance Extender:
1. Click HP P9000 APEX in the title bar.
