Linking with PA

check performance information, such as the parity group usage and the volume IOPS. It will also let
you launch the PA GUI.
Displaying performance information from the Device Manager GUI
To display the parity group usage, volume IOPS, and other information acquired by PA, you must
specify necessary settings in the hppa.properties file on the Device Manager server.
Operations to complete in advance
• Set up PA.
For details about the system requirements and setup method, see the PA manual.
• Install the CLI client library.
For details about installing the CLI client library, see the PA manual.
• Set the time zone for PA and for the Device Manager server.
If the time zone differs between the servers, the performance information are not displayed. In
addition, HP recommends that both server time matches.

refresh the storage system. After that, click the Data Collection Tasks tab, and check Status of the
Refresh Storage Systems task. If the status is Completed, setup has been completed successfully.
