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

• If the license has expired or licensed capacities have exceeded the grace period for an XP or
a P9000 disk array
In such a case, P9000 Performance Advisor displays the following error message under the
Configuration Collection tab:
Configuration collection is stopped due to license violation for array
<serial_number>
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen.
• The internal raw disk capacity of an XP disk array obtained through the inband mode of configur-
ation data collection is not accurate when compared to the value displayed by the Remote Web
Console. It might lead to license violations. If you want to view the accurate internal raw disk ca-
pacity of an XP disk array, HP recommends that you collect the configuration data using the outband
mode.
For a P9000 disk array, both the inband and the outband mode of configuration data collection
provide the accurate usable capacity (same as displayed by Remote Web Console).
• There might be a difference in the total count of continuous access journal volumes received through
the inband, and the outband modes of configuration data collection for a P9000 disk array.
This is because, the configuration data collected through the inband mode includes data on only
the registered and active continuous access journal volumes. However, the configuration data
collected through the outband mode includes data on the initialized volumes in addition to the
registered and active volumes.
Tasks you can perform under the Configuration Collection tab
• “Collecting configuration data” on page 59
• “Scheduling configuration data collection” on page 62
One-time configuration data collection
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you start the configuration data collection for
the XP and the P9000 disk arrays. These prerequisites are common for both the one-time and scheduled
configuration data collection:
• Start the configuration data collection only when a command device is created on an XP or a
P9000 disk array. For more information on creating command devices, refer to the HP Storage-
Works P9000 Performance Advisor Software Installation Guide.
• If multiple SLPRs are configured in an XP disk array, select the command device in the SLPR0.
However, if you select a command device in the SLPR1 or SLPR2, the configuration information
associated with the SLPR0 cannot be accessed due to security implementations.
NOTE:
SLPR does not exist in the P9000 disk arrays. So, the above-mentioned point is not applicable for
the P9000 disk arrays.
To perform a one-time configuration data collection:
1. Click Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
