HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.4 User Guide (T1789-96328, April 2012)

3. Based on the XP or the P9000 disk array for which you want to import its performance data,

select the relevant file from the list displayed in the Archive Import section.

For example, PA53036_12OCT2008_20.07.32_1217826540130_1217826600138.DMP

NOTE:

<HPSS_HOME> translates to %PADB_HOME% in this context of importing data.

4. Click Import. Based on whether the import is for an XP or a P9000 disk array, P9000 Performance

Advisor does the following:

a. Displays an informational message that the import for the selected XP or the P9000 disk

array is successfully initiated.

b. Imports performance data from the .dmp files of the following types:

• <PAarray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_<Start_collec-

tion_interval_timestamp>_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

<P9000array_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_<Start_col-

lection_interval_timestamp>_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

• <PAarray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_<Start_collec-

tion_interval_timestamp>_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

c. Logs two records under Import data for the date and time when the import is complete.

d. Displays the names of the two .dmp files that are imported, under File Name.

5. Perform a fresh configuration data collection for the XP or the P9000 disk array on the

management station, where you have imported the performance data. For more information on

performing configuration data collection, see “Configuration data” on page 58.

Importing archived data to another management station

To import the archived data to another management station:

1. Copy both the .dmp files for an XP or a P9000 disk array from the source management station

to the following location on the target management station:

<HPSS_HOME>\padb\admin\PADB\dpdump\

2. Follow steps 1 – 5 provided for importing data to the same management station. For more

information, see Importing archived data to the same management station on page 182.

The above-mentioned procedure is also applicable, if you are accessing the target management

station over the web (http(s)://[server name].[domain name]/pa).
