5. Select the host agent name from the HostAgent box, if the XP or the P9000 disk array is connected
to more than one host agent. Every host agent can accept only one instance of a real-time
performance data collection request. If you want to use the same host agent for another real-time
data collection request, stop the current data collection and initiate the new request. For more
information, see Stopping real-time performance data collection on page 353.
6. Select the command device from the Command device list.
7. From the Choose Metrics list, select the check boxes for the real-time metrics of your choice. For
more information on the real-time metrics, see Real-time metrics and descriptions on page 461.

P9000 Performance Advisor plots the performance graphs in the Chart Work Area as and when
the real-time performance data is collected for the selected components. For more information
on using charts, see Plotting charts on page 262.

For the selected XP or P9000 disk array and host agent, if you want to select a different
combination of components for the real-time monitoring or choose another command device,
stop the current real-time performance data collection and start a new real-time performance
data collection.
