HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v6.0 User Guide

Example (see Figure 30 (page 282))LDEV - MP blade assignment
MPB-1MA is the MP blade ID, where 1 indicates the cluster #
and MA indicates the blade location.
Forecasting utilization
You can forecast utilization of the following components in charts:
• MP Util (%)
• Write Pending (%)
• DKA Util (%)
• RG Util (%)
• ThP Util (%)
• MP Blade Util (%)
IMPORTANT:
• The forecast on the MP Util (%) and DKA Util (%) are available only for the XP disk arrays.
• The forecast on the MP Blade Util (%) is available only for the P9000 disk arrays.
The forecast utilization can be monitored for a day, week, month, six months, or year based on
the current data points. For example, if you have data points for a RAID group collected over two
days and you want to forecast its utilization for the next one week, HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor forecasts the utilization rate based on the data collected over two days.
• For an XP disk array, the forecasted utilization value for the DKA, MP, RAID group, and the
cache write pending utilization is measured against the default or threshold values that are
set on the Threshold Setting screen.
• For a P9000 disk array, the forecasted utilization value for the RAID group, MP blade, and
the cache write pending utilization is measured against the default or threshold values that
are set on the Threshold Setting screen.
For more information, see “Configuring dashboard threshold settings” (page 97).
