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

automatically available for that XP or P9000 disk array when you initiate an outband mode of
configuration collection.
IMPORTANT:
• For a P9000 disk array (such as the P9500) or for an XP24000 Disk Array, the IP address of the
management station is also registered with the array SVP.
• For a P9000 disk array (such as the P9500), it is recommended that you maintain separate SVP
login credentials, which you can use for outband mode of configuration data collection.
• On a few occasions, the SVP IP address registration can fail for a P9000 disk array (such as the
P9500) or for an XP24000 Disk Array, due to the following reasons:
• The SVP is offline or locked by another user
• The IP address does not belong to the selected array SVP
• If you upgrade P9000 Performance Advisor from v4.1 or later version, and the SVP registration
data already exists for the XP24000 Disk Array, it is automatically available in the newer version
of P9000 Performance Advisor when the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Tomcat
service starts. So, the SVP registration process need not be repeated. If the upgrade fails for some
reason, the SVP registration data is still available in the existing version from where you had
planned the upgrade.
• The registration process may take some time. After you provide the XP or the P9000 disk array
IP address and click Register, wait till P9000 Performance Advisor displays a confirmation that
the registration is complete.
To register an XP disk array SVP IP address with the management station:
1. Click Settings in the left pane.
2. Select Personalize Arrays.
The Personalize Arrays screen appears. If SVP registrations are already done, they are displayed
in the Register SVP IP/Save SVP Credentials section.
3. Select an XP disk array from the Array list in the Register SVP IP section. All the XP disk arrays
monitored by P9000 Performance Advisor are displayed in the Array list.
4. Enter the XP disk array IP address in Array IP Address.
5. Click Register.
The SVP IP address that you specify is registered with the management station.
P9000 Performance Advisor automatically uses the SVP IP address every time you initiate an outband
configuration data collection for the selected XP disk array.
To register a P9000 disk array SVP IP address with the management station:
1. Select a P9000 disk array from the Array list in the Register SVP IP section. All the P9000 disk
arrays monitored by P9000 Performance Advisor are displayed in the Array list.
2. Enter the P9000 disk array IP address in Array IP Address.
3. Enter the credentials (RWC user name and password).
