HP XP P9000Watch and HP XP P9000Sketch Reference Guide for HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor v5.5 (T1789-96341, February 2013)

• .csv — is the output file that saves performance data.
In the Interactive mode, the .csv files are generated depending on the configured settings.
However, in the CLI mode, these files are generated every hour. For every hour different .csv
files are created, one file for each component.
For better understanding, consider the following two scenarios:
Example scenario 1: In the Interactive mode, if you set the Data Split Time to two hours and
the Data Collection Time Limit to six hours, three sets of .csv files are created in a span of
six hours. Each set contains seven .csv files, one file for each component. Each .csv file
contains data for the last two hours (from the time the file was generated).
Example scenario 2: In the Interactive mode, if you set the Data Split Time to two hours and
the Data Collection Time Limit to five hours, three sets of .csv files are created in a span of
six hours. Each set contains seven .csv files, one file for each component. Each .csv file
will contain data for the last two hours and the third set would contain data for the last one
hour.
The output file naming convention is: selected array-mm-dd-yy- hh.min.sec.milliseconds.
For example, 53036-03-15-11-12.40.46.151.csv is the output file name,
where:
◦ 53036 is the selected P9000 disk array
◦ 03–15–11 is the file creation date.
◦ 12.40.46.151 is the file creation time in (12 hrs, 40 min, 46 sec, and 151 milliseconds).
The naming convention for the .csv files generated in the Interactive and CLI modes are as
follows:
◦ Interactive Mode
Based on the option you select for the XP or P9000 disk array, the .csv files are
accordingly generated. The list of .csv files for each option are as follows:
Sync/Async Metrics
NOTE: The Sync/Async Metrics are available only in the Interactive mode.
– <Array Serial Number>-PORTPERF-<current timestamp when the
file is created>.csv
– <Array Serial Number>-PVOL_SVOL_CLPRPERF-<current timestamp
when the file is created>.csv
– <Array Serial Number>-PVOL_SVOL_LDEVPERF-<current timestamp
when the file is created>.csv
– <Array Serial Number>-PVOL_SVOL_RGPERF-<current timestamp
when the file is created>.csv
CA Journal Metrics
NOTE:
– The CA Journal Metrics are available only in the Interactive mode.
– The RAID group performance metrics of a LDEV is not available if it is configured as
a THP, smart pool, or external volume.
– <Array Serial Number>-PORTPERF-<current timestamp when the
file is created>.csv
