• Selected XP or P9000 disk array name under Array
• Selected component under Resource
• Selected metric category under Metric Category
• Selected metric under Metric

shown blank.
IMPORTANT:
P9000 Performance Advisor does not support the THP Pool RG Utilization and LDEV RG Utilization
metrics. Thus, you cannot create an alarm using these metrics. Alarms that are created earlier using
these metrics will be removed when you upgrade from any previous version to P9000 Performance
Advisor v5.4.
