Required system configuration for acquiring performance information
The system configuration in which the performance information of a storage system is acquired by
using the CIM/WBEM functions differs depending on the model of the storage system.
Figure 21 Example of a system configuration in which performance information of a storage system
is acquired
Storage system
This is a storage system whose performance information is to be acquired.
The host that acquires performance information (the Device Manager agent) acquires the inform-
ation of enterprise-class storage systems (P9500, XP24000/XP20000, and
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200) by using the command device within the storage system, and then
reports it to the Device Manager server.
Host that acquires performance information
Device Manager agent version 7.0 or later is required for P9500 storage systems, and Device
Manager agent version 5.9 or later is required for XP24000/XP20000 or
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 storage systems.
HP recommends that use the same computer for the management server and for the host that ac-
quires performance information.
Even if you use different computers for the management server and for the host that acquires
performance information, the OS for the host that acquires performance information must be
Windows or Linux.
The host that acquires performance information cannot run HP-UX or AIX.
HP recommends that you use the hdvmagt_setting command to set the Device Manager agent
central management method.
Management server
Device Manager server version 5.9 or later must be installed, and the CIM/WBEM functions must
be enabled.
