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

• The name of the customer for whom the report is generated.

• The name of the consultant who is associated with the customer.

• The location of the XP or the P9000 disk array for which the report is generated. This inform-

ation is useful if the XP or the P9000 disk array is located in a different site, away from the

management station.

Data Collection Email Settings

• A valid destination email address, as specified under Alarm Email Settings.

• An appropriate subject text for the data collection failure notifications. P9000 Performance

Advisor uses the specified subject text as the default for all the notifications that are dispatched

whenever a performance data collection fails. The default subject line is P9000 Data Collection

Failed.

• Select the Notify Data Collection Failure check box to receive the data collection failure noti-

fications. By default, P9000 Performance Advisor does not dispatch the data collection failure

notifications.

SNMP settings

The purpose of specifying an SNMP community name is to separate emails that belong to a

particular group (community). You can specify only two community names: Public (default) or

Private.

To validate the SNMP server settings, click Test SNMP. If the SNMP server address entered is

valid, the following message is displayed:

Trap dispatched to the SNMP server

If the SNMP server address entered is invalid or the SNMP server is not accessible, the following

message is displayed:

Trap not dispatched. It might be due to invalid IP address or server

name, or the SNMP server is not accessible.

4. Click Save.

A message appears to indicate that the settings are updated in the

serverparameters.properties file. Click OK to start using P9000 Performance Advisor.

If you click Cancel, the previous specified values are retained in the in the

serverparameters.properties file and also displayed on the Email Settings screen.

The destination email addresses are also automatically displayed in the Email box and Email

Destination box when you configure the alarms or generate the reports. By default,

administrator@localhost is considered if you do not specify a different email address. However,

if you specify a new email address while configuring the alarms or creating the reports in the

respective screens, it is used only with the current set of alarm or report records for which it is

provided. The new email address does not supersede the existing email address provided on

the Email Settings screen.

NOTE:

Every time the values are updated in the serverparameters.properties file, all the

parameter fields appear in the first half of the file. The comments for all these parameter

fields appear after the fields, at the end of the file.
