1. Do one of the following:
Click PA and DB Settings > Threshold Setting in the left pane.
OR
Click Edit Threshold on the Dashboard screen. The Dashboard screen appears by default when
you launch P9000 Performance Advisor or when you click Monitoring in the left pane.
The Threshold Setting screen appears displaying one of the following based on whether P9000
Performance Advisor is monitoring both the XP and the P9000 disk arrays or either of them in
your setup:
• If both the XP and the P9000 disk arrays are monitored, the Threshold Setting for XP disk
array and the Threshold Settings for P9500 disk array tables are displayed.
NOTE:
The P9500 Disk Array belongs to the P9000 disk array family.
Consumers are also referred to as components.
• If either the XP or the P9000 disk arrays are monitored, only the threshold settings table for
the monitored array type is displayed.
For more information on the categories displayed for the XP or the P9000 disk arrays, see Table
6 on page 115.
To view a description of the metrics, see “Dashboard threshold metrics” on page 122.
