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

While creating a performance data collection schedule:
1. The RAID groups and ports are not selected from the respective component type lists.
2. Instead, the ThP, snapshot, continuous access journal volumes, or the external RAID groups are
selected from the respective component type lists.
3. The Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected.
After the settings are saved, the following changes occur:
• Only the newly discovered RAID groups and ports are automatically added to this performance
data collection schedule, as the Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected.
• The new virtual volumes are also automatically added to this schedule, as it is already collecting
the performance data for virtual volumes.
• The RAID groups and ports that were not selected from the respective component type lists are
automatically added to the second schedule when it is created. If a second schedule is not created,
the existing list of RAID groups and ports are still available for selection in the first schedule. You
must modify the first schedule if you want to add these components to the existing list. For more
information on editing a performance data collection schedule, see “Editing frequency of perform-
ance data collection” on page 78.
Scenario 2
While creating a performance data collection schedule:
1. The ThP, snapshot, continuous access journal volumes, or the external RAID groups are not selected
from the respective component type lists.
2. The Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected.
After the settings are saved, the following changes occur:
• Only the newly discovered RAID groups and ports are automatically added to this performance
data collection schedule, as the Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected.
• The new virtual volumes are not added to this schedule, as it is not collecting the performance
data for virtual volumes.
• The RAID groups, ports, and the virtual volumes that were not selected from the respective com-
ponent type lists are automatically added to the second schedule when it is created.
• The new virtual volumes are automatically added to the second schedule even if the Add new
RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected in the second schedule. These com-
ponents cannot be split across schedules.
• If a second schedule is not created, the existing list of RAID groups, ports, and the virtual volumes
are still available for selection in the first schedule. You must modify the first schedule if you want
to add these components to the existing list. For more information on editing a performance data
collection schedule, see “Editing frequency of performance data collection” on page 78.
Scenario 3
While creating a performance data collection schedule:
1. The RAID groups, ports, and the virtual volumes are selected from the respective component type
lists.
2. The Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected.
After the schedule settings are saved, the following changes occur:
• The performance data collection is initiated only for the selected list of components.
• The new virtual volumes are automatically added to the first schedule even if the Add new RAID
Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected in the first schedule. These components
cannot be split across schedules.
