When the performance data collection is in progress, you can perform the following functions.
Allow HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor to complete at least two performance data collection
cycles before you proceed with the following tasks. This is to ensure that sufficient data is available
that can be projected on the respective screens:
• View a graphical representation of the performance of components for different metrics and
duration that you specify. For more information, see “Plotting charts” (page 233).
• View the performance summary of components on the Array View screen. For more information,
see “Viewing performance summary” (page 174).
• Configure alarms on components, so that HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor can send
appropriate alarm notifications. For more information, see “Adding or removing metric
values” (page 116).
• Create custom groups for a set of LDEVs that you want to frequently monitor. For more
information, see “Creating custom groups” (page 82).
• Create and schedule reports to view the performance data of components for different metrics,
and duration that you specify. For more information, see “Generating, saving, or scheduling
reports” (page 297).
In case of performance data collection failures, the appropriate failure messages are displayed
on the Event Log screen. HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor can also dispatch email notification
about the collection failure to the intended recipient. To receive performance data collection failure
notification, you must configure the appropriate email notification settings. For more information,
see “Configuring email and SNMP settings” (page 71).
