Introduction

HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor enables you to activate alarms on components, so that timely

notifications can be dispatched to intended recipients when the performance of components rise

beyond a particular limit. The performance values of components are verified against threshold

limits that you set. HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor also maintains history of alarms for

components from the time alarms are activated on components. It monitors performance and logs

new records whenever the performance of components rise beyond or drop below the set threshold

limits. This activity continues till the associated alarms are disabled or the corresponding component

records deleted. You can also view performance graphs for components on which alarms are

generated. If you are monitoring the ThP pool utilization and have activated alarm notifications

for the same, you can also forecast the date and time when the utilization exceeds the next threshold

limit.
