HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v6.0 User Guide

performance data collection schedule that you are creating, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
validates the following and displays appropriate error messages if the validations fail:
• If it is the first performance data collection schedule, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
verifies if the configuration data is already available for that XP or P9000 disk array.
• If it is the second performance data collection schedule, in addition to the configuration
data, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor also verifies:
◦ Whether the second schedule is using a different port than the one used by the first
schedule.
◦ Whether the same host is used to communicate with the selected XP or P9000 disk
array.
4. Enter a schedule name in the Schedule Name box.
The performance schedule name can be a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. You can
insert a space and also use special characters, such as underscore (_) and apostrophe (').
5. For a P9000 disk array, you must perform an additional step.
• If the command device being used for collection has authentication enabled, select the
Authentication Enabled check box. Enter the RWC user name and password that has
privilege to use the command device, and proceed to the next step to select the
components. If you select the same command device that was used for configuration data
collection and if the authentication was enabled for the configuration collection, the RWC
credentials are automatically populated in the fields adjacent to the Authentication Enabled
check box.
• If you do not want to enable the authentication, proceed to the next step to select the
components.
NOTE: If authentication is required and you do not enable it, the performance data collection
will fail.
6. In the respective component type lists, select the required check boxes for the components to
collect their performance data. The following component type lists are displayed:
For an XP disk array, the DKC provides data on the

For a P9000 disk array, the DKC provides data on the
MP blades, in addition to the data on the Cache, CLPR,
and the SM.
NOTE: SLPR does not exist in the P9000 disk arrays.
So, the SLPR-related data is not displayed for the P9000
disk arrays.
