HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 260)

For ports that are configured to communicate with the selected host groups, you can also view the
associated MPs and CHAs for the XP disk arrays, and only the CHAs for the P9000 disk arrays
under the Front-end category. For the LDEVs that are associated with the selected host groups,
view their RAID groups under the Back-end category. For more information, see
“Front-end
navigation path” (page 238) and “Back-end navigation path” (page 244) .
The applicable metrics are displayed in the Available Metrics Choose Metric Category list. Select
the metrics at the component type or the individual component levels, or both and view the related
performance graphs in the Chart Work Area. For a description of these metrics, see
“Metric
Category, metrics, and descriptions” (page 387) .
The following table provides the default set of metric categories that are displayed in the Available
Metrics Choose Metric Category list for the XP and the P9000 disk arrays.

Ext-RG(s) navigation path
The Ext-RG(s) category provides consolidated data on all the external volumes connected to the
selected XP or P9000 disk array. Following is the component selection path: Ext-RG(s) > Ext-RdGp
The following image is an example for an XP disk array and shows the respective external RAID
groups.
