Deleting configuration data collection schedules
To delete a configuration data collection schedule:
1. Click Monitoring+Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
2. Click the Configuration Collection tab. The Configuration Collection table displays the list of
command device records for all the XP and the P9000 disk arrays that are monitored by HP
XP P9000 Performance Advisor.
3. Select the command device record corresponding to the XP or the P9000 disk array for which
you want to delete the configuration data schedule.
4. Click Delete Schedule.
When a configuration data collection schedule is deleted, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
stops the collection from the subsequent scheduled collection cycle and then deletes the schedule.
However, the current collection stops only after the latest configuration data is collected or when
the scheduler time resets to 60 minutes. For example, if you scheduled a configuration data collection
for two hours at 10:00 AM and stopped the schedule at 10:30 AM, HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor still continues with the configuration collection that was initiated at 10:00 AM. However,
after the current collection completes or the scheduler time resets to 60 minutes, HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor does not initiate a new configuration data collection.
Collecting performance data
After completing the configuration data collection for the XP and the P9000 disk arrays, schedule
the performance data collection for the associated components, which belong to the following
component types:
• DKC
• Ports
• RAID Groups
• Ext RAID Groups
• THP pools
• Snapshot pools
• Cont. Access Journals
You can create two performance data collection schedules for an XP or a P9000 disk array, as it
enables you to frequently monitor the respective components. The components that are not selected
as part of the first schedule are automatically added to the second schedule. You can set different
collection frequencies to collect data for the DKC, ports, and the RAID groups. You can also enable
the schedules for automatic updates. The collection frequency set for a RAID group in a schedule
is applicable for any component of the continuous access journal, snapshot, ThP, and the external
RAID group types. It is applicable only if they are selected for performance data collection.
The following are important notes on the performance data collection:
• The performance data collection does not start when the configuration data collection is in
progress. It starts automatically when the configuration data collection completes. If you set
the frequency of the configuration data collection schedule as one hour, then after every hour,
the performance data collection stops and restarts only when the configuration data collection
completes. On successful completion, the Event Log screen displays records for the generated
