Settings required to acquire performance information of storage systems
This section describes the settings required to acquire performance information for storage systems
(P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200).
Preparing the storage system for acquiring performance information
Prepare a command device for each storage system from which you want to acquire performance
information, and then assign a LUN path to the host that will acquire the performance information so
that the host can recognize the command device.
To acquire P9500 performance information, force hosts to recognize command devices for which
authentication mode is disabled.
Preparing the host to acquire performance information
Install the Device Manager agent, and then register command devices.
To collect performance information:
1. Install the Device Manager agent.
To acquire performance information, a RAID Manager/LIB is necessary. If you install the Device
Manager agent on a host, the necessary RAID Manager/LIB is installed. However, if the host
OS is UNIX, and a RAID Manager/LIB is already installed on the host, the RAID Manager/LIB
is not overwritten. If this is the case, install the proper RAID Manager/LIB, as shown in the following
table.

2. Use the Device Manager agent hdvmagt_setting command to configure the central
management method settings. (This is recommended.)
3. Use the perf_findcmddev command to register command devices.
CAUTION:
• If you upgrade the Device Manager agent from version 6.3 or earlier to version 6.4 or
later, the settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file remain unchanged. If you
are using a storage system in an SLPR environment, after the upgrade installation finishes,
refresh the information of SLPR command devices defined in the perf_cmddev.prop-
erties file.
• If you are using the Device Manager agent version 6.3 or earlier and you want to use
a storage system in an SLPR environment, directly edit the perf_cmddev.properties
file to define command devices for SLPRs.
