• The new virtual volumes are automatically added to the second schedule even if the Add new
RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected in the second schedule. These
components cannot be split across schedules.
• If a second schedule is not created, the existing list of RAID groups, ports, and the virtual
volumes are still available for selection in the first schedule. You must modify the first schedule
if you want to add these components to the existing list. For more information on editing a
performance data collection schedule, see “Editing frequency of performance data
collection” (page 68).
Scenario 3
While creating a performance data collection schedule:
1. The RAID groups, ports, and the virtual volumes are selected from the respective component
type lists.
2. The Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected.
After the schedule settings are saved, the following changes occur:
• The performance data collection is initiated only for the selected list of components.
• The new virtual volumes are automatically added to the first schedule even if the Add new
RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected in the first schedule. These
components cannot be split across schedules.
• The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are not added to this performance schedule, as
the Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is not selected. However, if a
second schedule is created, you can still select the Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule
check box. The new RAID groups and ports are automatically added to the second schedule.
• If a second schedule is not created, the list of new RAID groups and ports are still available
for selection in the first schedule. You must modify the first schedule if you want to add these
components to the existing list.
Scenario 4
While creating a performance data collection schedule:
1. The existing RAID groups and the ports are not selected from the respective component type
lists.
2. The Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is also not selected.
After the schedule settings are saved, for the above-mentioned scenario, the following changes
occur:
• The new RAID groups and ports are not added to the existing schedule. If a second schedule
is created and the Auto Update check box is selected, the existing and new RAID groups and
ports are automatically added to the second schedule.
• If a second schedule is not created, the list of new and existing RAID groups and ports are
still available for selection in the first schedule. You must modify the first schedule if you want
to add these components to the existing list.
Starting performance data collection in case of a disk failure
The performance data collection might stop on all the XP and the P9000 disk arrays connected to
a host, if the command device used belongs to an array group where a disk failure occurred. To
restart performance data collection:
1. Under the Host Information tab, select the host (on which performance data collection has
stopped) and click Request Info. The status for the selected host changes to Received after the
information is collected from the host. For more information, see “Requesting host agent
updates” (page 46).
