Enabling performance collection schedules for automatic updates

You can enable the performance data collection schedules to automatically collect the performance
data for newly discovered RAID groups and ports. The new RAID groups and ports in an XP or a
P9000 disk array are discovered during the scheduled configuration data collection. They are
automatically appended to the existing list of RAID groups and ports in the corresponding
performance data collection schedule, which is enabled to collect performance data for the new
components. The newly discovered components are added to only those performance data collection
schedules that are enabled for automatic updates. HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor collects data
for new RAID groups and ports from the subsequent data collection cycle.

The new components can also comprise of virtual volumes, such as ThP, snapshot, continuous
access journals, and the external RAID groups. The virtual volumes cannot be split across two
schedules. They are automatically added to only those performance data collection schedules that
are already collecting the performance data for these virtual volumes. It is irrespective of whether
the performance data collection schedule is enabled to receive automatic updates.

For a schedule to automatically collect data for the new set of RAID groups and ports, select the
Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box while creating a performance data collection
schedule. The following table provides scenarios on when a schedule can be enabled for automatic
updates.
