HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.5 Install Guide (T1789-96339, February 2013)

performance data collection schedule that you are creating, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
does the following validations and displays appropriate error messages if the validations fail:
• If it is the first performance data collection schedule, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
verifies if the configuration data is already available for that XP or P9000 disk array.
• If it is the second performance data collection schedule, in addition to the above-mentioned
point, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor also verifies the following:
◦ Whether the second schedule is using a different port other than the one already
used by the first schedule.
◦ Whether the same host is being used to communicate with the selected XP or P9000
disk array.
5. Enter a schedule name in the Schedule Name box.
The performance schedule name can be a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. You can
insert a space and also use special characters, such as underscore (_) and apostrophe (‘).
6. For a P9000 disk array, you are required to perform an additional step.
• If the command device being used for collection has authentication enabled, select the
Authentication Enabled check box. Enter the credentials (RWC user name and password)
that have privileges to use the command device, and proceed to the next step to select
the components. If it is the same command device that you used for configuration data
collection and if the authentication was enabled, the credentials that you provided are
automatically populated in the respective fields here.
• If you do not want to enable the authentication, proceed to the next step to select the
components.
If authentication is required and you do not enable it, the performance data collection will
fail.
7. In the respective component type lists, select the check boxes for the components to collect
their performance data. The following component type lists are displayed:
For an XP disk array, the DKC provides data on the
CHIPs, ACPs, Cache, SLPR, CLPR, and the SM.
DKC
For a P9000 disk array, the DKC provides data on the
MP blades, in addition to the data on the Cache, CLPR,
and the SM.
NOTE: SLPR does not exist in the P9000 disk arrays.
So, the SLPR-related data is not displayed for the P9000
disk arrays.
