To manually refresh the Host Information table, click Refresh Hosts. After the host agents appear

in the Host Information table, start collecting configuration and performance data for your XP and

P9000 disk arrays. Click Request Info if you have made changes on the XP or the P9000 disk

array connected to your host agent, such as creating a new command device or re-installing the

host agent. For more information, see “Using P9000 Performance Advisor” (page 93).

NOTE: When the host agents are installed, you can view the host agent installer log details in

the PA_HA_32Install_Script.log file located in the <system_drive>:\

P9000_PA_Install_Log folder, where <system_drive> is the drive on which the operating

system is installed.

Assigning GUIDs for command devices on a Windows host agent

To overcome device renaming and device remapping issues during data collection, HP recommends

that you use the Windows GUID (\\?\Volume{GUID}) to perform configuration and performance

data collection instead of using the device file names.

Complete the following steps to use the GUID:

1. Log on to the HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor host agent and stop the host agent and

real-time services. For steps to stop these services, see “Starting, stopping, and restarting host

agent services” (page 122).

2. From a command line, run the XPInfo –i, to display the list of all the command devices

(see “XPInfo –i command” (page 82)).

3. Create a GUID on the command devices to perform data collection.
