3. Select the host agents whose configuration details you want to update in P9000 Performance

Advisor.

4. Click Request Info. The Request Info button is enabled only when you select the host agents. Use

the Shft or the Ctrl key to select multiple host agent records.

The request is executed in the subsequent data collection cycle. Following is the sequence of

events that occur for the selected host agent:

a. P9000 Performance Advisor retrieves the updated information from the host agent. This may

take a few minutes depending on the number of LDEVs that are exposed to the host agent.

The Status displays as Requested and Request Status displays the message, In

progress...please wait.

b. After P9000 Performance Advisor has retrieved the latest information from the host agent,

the Status changes to Received.

c. The latest time stamp is displayed under Updated.

Click Refresh Hosts to manually refresh the Host Information table. If there are any configuration

changes in the associated XP and the P9000 disk arrays, P9000 Performance Advisor also updates

these details on the relevant screens. For example, if the updated information is about a new command

device, an additional record for the new command device is also displayed under the Configuration

Collection tab on the Array View screen.

To collect configuration data from a reconfigured XP or P9000 disk array, perform the above-mentioned

steps (see “Requesting host agent updates” on page 56). During the next data collection cycle, the

host collects the configuration data again from the reconfigured XP or P9000 disk array and displays

under the Configuration Collection tab on the Array View screen. This process avoids inconsistencies

in the performance data collected for the reconfigured XP or P9000 disk arrays.
