P9000Watch and P9000Sketch Reference guide for HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor v5.3 (T1789-96325, August 2011)

Accessing P9000Watch
P9000Watch can be accessed using the following two modes:
• Interactive mode (default)
• CLI mode (Non Interactive)
NOTE:
• Executing XPWatch.exe on a windows platform is equivalent to executing ./xpwatch on a
non windows platform. By default, the P9000Watch will start in the Interactive mode.
• P9000Watch commands are case-sensitive.
Interactive mode
Interactive mode is the default mode in which P9000Watch executes. In this mode, the output is
decided interactively, where you select appropriate options from different menus displayed in the
interactive windows.
You can execute P9000Watch in the Interactive mode using any one of the following options:
• On a Windows system, either click XPWatch.exe or type XPWatch.exe in the command prompt
window.
• On a non-Windows platform, run ./xpwatch in the command prompt window.
For more information on the commands to execute P9000Watch in Interactive mode, see Executing
commands in Interactive mode.
CLI mode
NOTE:
The output screen has the timestamp when the data is retrieved.
To open P9000Watch in the CLI mode, execute the entire command in the command prompt window.
In the CLI mode, you can directly execute commands in the command prompt window to view the
same data that is otherwise displayed when P9000Watch is executed using the Interactive mode.
There are three different commands that can be used. The entire command should be entered at the
command prompt, without which P9000Watch will exit.
For more information on the commands to execute P9000Watch in CLI mode, see Executing commands
in CLI mode.
Removing P9000Watch
To remove P9000Watch, delete the folder containing the XPWatch.exe file.
