HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.4 Troubleshooting and FAQs Guide (T1789-96336, April 2012)

The new charts are added always at the end of the Chart Work Area. Every
time, I have to scroll down the Chart Work Area to view the new chart when
more number of charts are added. Is it possible to view the new chart first?
Yes. You can rearrange charts in the Chart Work Area. Click the title bar of the chart window that
you want to move and holding down the left mouse button, drag and drop that chart over the first
chart in the Chart Work Area. The existing chart window automatically shifts to accommodate the
relocated chart window.
How can I locate physical LDEVs when they are spread across RAID groups in
multiple XP or P9000 disk arrays?
By default, the search function highlights the first occurrence of the physical LDEV record under Charts.
If you want to search for a physical LDEV record that belongs to a specific XP or a P9000 disk array,
you should select that array record and then provide the CU:LDEV format of the physical LDEV ID.
Can I generate reports for favorite charts?
Yes. In addition to viewing your favorite charts, you can also generate or schedule reports for your
favorite charts. The reports contain the performance graphs for the combination of resources and
metrics saved in your favorite charts. You can also select the duration for which you want to view the
performance graphs of the resources.
NOTE:
This feature is available from P9000 Performance Advisor v4.6 onwards.
Click Reports. Under the Create/Schedule Reports tab, provide the relevant details and select Favorite
Chart(s). From the list of Favorite Chart(s) displayed, select the favorite chart for which you want to
generate or schedule a report.
If your favorite chart has more than 250 resources, P9000 Performance Advisor generates a single
report that will have the performance graphs for the 250 resources in the first chart followed by the
performance graphs for the remaining set of resources (beyond 250) in the subsequent chart.
Can I generate reports for favorite charts created in previous versions of P9000
Performance Advisor?
Yes. You can generate reports for favorite charts created in pre-4.6 version of P9000 Performance
Advisor.
