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

3. Click Create. The Create button is enabled only when you select an XP or a P9000 disk array
record under the Performance Collection tab. Based on whether it is the first or the second
performance data collection schedule that you are creating, P9000 Performance Advisor does
the following validations and displays appropriate error messages if the validations fail:
• If it is the first performance data collection schedule, P9000 Performance Advisor verifies if
the configuration data is already available for that XP or P9000 disk array.
• If it is the second performance data collection schedule, in addition to the above-mentioned
point, P9000 Performance Advisor also verifies the following:
• Whether the second schedule is using a different port other than the one already used by
the first schedule.
• Whether the same host is used to communicate with the selected XP or P9000 disk array.
4. Enter a schedule name in the Schedule Name box.
The performance schedule name can be a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. You can
insert a space and also use special characters, such as underscore (_) and apostrophe (‘).
5. For a P9000 disk array, you are required to perform an additional step.
• If the command device being used for collection has authentication enabled, select the Au-
thentication Enabled check box. Enter the credentials (RWC user name and password) that
have privileges to use the command device, and proceed to the next step to select the com-
ponents. If you select the same command device that was used for configuration data collection
and if the authentication was enabled for the configuration collection, the RWC credentials
are automatically populated in the fields adjacent to the Authentication Enabled check box.
• If you do not want to enable the authentication, proceed to the next step to select the compon-
ents.
If authentication is required and you do not enable it, the performance data collection will fail.
