HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v6.0 User Guide

5. Click Export.

HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor archives data for the specified duration. As part of the

archival process, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor does the following:

a. Displays an informational message that the export for the selected array is successfully

initiated and starts exporting the data.

b. Logs two records under Export data for the date and time when the archival is complete.

c. Creates two .dmp files and displays their names under File Name. The file names are

unique (see the following) and have the XP or the P9000 disk array serial number in their

file names for easy identification:

• The first file contains performance data for the port and the DKC.

Following is the file naming convention for the .dmp file generated for an XP disk

array:

<XParray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_<Start_collection_interval_timestamp>

_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

For example,

XP10055_12OCT2008_20.07.32_1217826540130_1217826600138.DMP

Following is the file naming convention for the .dmp file generated for a P9000 disk

array:

<P9000array_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_<Start_collection_interval_timestamp>

_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

For example,

P900053032_12OCT2008_20.07.32_1217826540130_1217826600138.DMP

• The second file contains the performance data for the RAID groups. Following is the

file naming convention for the .dmp file:

<PAarray_serial_number>_<archival_start_date>_<archival_start_time>_<Start_collection_interval_timestamp>

_<End_collection_interval_timestamp>.DMP

For example,

PA10055_12OCT2008_20.07.32_1217826540130_1217826600138.DMP

Once the archival is completed, this file is simultaneously displayed in the Archive

Import section under the Archive Export/Archive Import tab. You must select this file

if you want to import the performance data (port, DKC, RAID groups) for the XP or

the P9000 disk array. For more information, see “Importing data” (page 160).

TIP: You can also copy the .dmp files from the dpdump folder to a CD/DVD and release

the space occupied by the .dmp files on the management station.
