Alarm History screen are displayed. A record for a
component is first posted on the Alarm History screen
when the following conditions are met:
◦ Alarm is enabled on the component.
◦ Performance data collection is in progress.
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor pings the component
in the next data collection cycle to receive its current
performance value, and also posts a new record on the

component and displays the new time of posting under
Time Posted when one of the following conditions is
met:
◦ The alarm is disabled or there are no I/Os
transactions on the component.
◦ The performance of a component rises or drops
below the set threshold level.
• Time updated: If this option is selected, the time stamps
when HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor last collected

displayed.

If a record is showing a blank entry for any of these time
stamps, that particular record is skipped during the filtering
phase. Assuming that the I/Os transactions are not
happening on a particular component, and the alarm is
also disabled. In such a case, the Time Updated displays
a blank entry for that component record. Hence, the record
is skipped when you filter based on Time Updated option.
