4. Select a set of five or lesser number of LDEVs or RAID groups. Use the Shft or the Ctrl key for

sequential or random selection of LDEVs or RAID groups.

5. Select the host agent name from the HostAgent box, if the XP or the P9000 disk array is connected

to more than one host agent. Every host agent can accept only one instance of a real-time

performance data collection request. If you want to use the same host agent for another real-time

data collection request, stop the current data collection and initiate the new request. For more

information, see “Stopping real-time performance data collection” on page 89.

6. Select the command device from the Command Device list.

7. From the Choose Metrics list, select the check boxes for the real-time metrics of your choice. For

more information on the real-time metrics, see “Real-time metrics and descriptions” on page 460.

8. Click Start Plotting.

P9000 Performance Advisor plots the performance graphs in the Chart Work Area as and when

the real-time performance data is collected for the selected components. For more information

on using charts, see “Plotting charts” on page 264.

The following image shows the real-time charting graph for 10055, which belongs to the XP12000

Disk Array type.

NOTE:

For the selected XP or P9000 disk array and host agent, if you want to select a different

combination of components for the real-time monitoring or choose another command device,

stop the current real-time performance data collection and start a new real-time performance

data collection.
