CAUTION:
Ensure that the date and time on the management station and the hosts are synchronized with the
local time zone to receive accurate configuration data. This condition is also applicable for the client
systems that use the IE browser to access P9000 Performance Advisor on a management station, and
the systems that have the CLUI software installed.
The following are important notes applicable for both the one-time and scheduled configuration data
collection:
• Select only one command device for an XP or a P9000 disk array to perform the configuration
data collection for that array.
• When a configuration data collection is in progress for an XP or a P9000 disk array, do not initiate
another configuration data collection for the same array.
• The configuration changes made to an XP or a P9000 disk array after a one-time collection is not
automatically updated in P9000 Performance Advisor. You must perform the one-time configuration
data collection again to receive the latest configuration data for that XP or P9000 disk array.
However, if you have scheduled the configuration data collection for an XP or a P9000 disk array,
P9000 Performance Advisor automatically retrieves the latest configuration data as per the selected
schedule frequency.
• When an inband or an outband configuration collection is in progress for an XP or a P9000 disk
array, do not re-initiate the current configuration data collection for the same array.
• If an XP or a P9000 disk array is connected to a host agent that is running on HP-UX 11i v3 oper-
ating system, the DSF is displayed in a new format. A legacy DSF is displayed in parenthesis next
to the new format.
