HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 51)

If an outband mode of configuration data collection is in progress for an XP or a P9000 disk
array, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor stops collecting configuration data in the following
cases:
◦ If the usable capacity of a P9500 disk array or the internal raw disk capacity of an XP
disk array cannot be updated
In such a case, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor displays the following appropriate
error message under the Configuration Collection tab:
Array capacity data could not be fetched through SVP for the XP disk array <serial_num>
or P9000 disk array <serial_num>. Ensure that the XP disk array or the P9000 disk array
is online, the SVP is accessible and not under maintenance, or locked by another resource.
The outband configuration data collection will not be allowed for this XP disk array until
the problem is resolved.
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen. If you have scheduled
a configuration data collection, a failure notification message is also sent to the recipient
email address, specified in the Data Collection Email Settings section on the Email Settings
screen. For more information, see
“Configuring email and SNMP settings” (page 73) .
◦ If the license has expired or licensed capacities have exceeded the grace period for an
XP or a P9000 disk array
In such a case, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor displays the following error message
under the Configuration Collection tab:
Configuration collection is stopped due to license violation for array <serial_number>
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen.
•
The internal raw disk capacity of an XP disk array obtained through the inband mode of
configuration data collection is not accurate when compared to the value displayed by the
Remote Web Console. It might lead to license violations. If you want to view the accurate
internal raw disk capacity of an XP disk array, HP recommends that you collect the configuration
data using the outband mode.
For a P9500 disk array, both the inband and the outband mode of configuration data collection
provide the accurate usable capacity (same as displayed by Remote Web Console).
•
There might be a difference in the total count of continuous access journal volumes received
through the inband, and the outband modes of configuration data collection for a P9000 disk
array.
This is because, the configuration data collected through the inband mode includes data on
only the registered and active continuous access journal volumes. However, the configuration
data collected through the outband mode includes data on the initialized volumes in addition
to the registered and active volumes.
