Click Save. HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor does the following:

Saves the schedule and also displays a record for the schedule in the Scheduled Reports
section (Reports+View Reports). The following details along with those you provided while
scheduling a report are displayed for that schedule in the Scheduled Reports section:

Occurrence: Displays number of times a particular schedule is repeated. The
occurrence is aligned to the selected schedule frequency. In addition, this column
also displays the selected schedule frequency and the start time. The format displayed
is <schedule frequency> at <start time> (for example, Every Wednesday at 11:00
hrs).

Schedule Time: Displays the time when you created the schedule.

End Time: Displays the end date and time for the schedule. HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor calculates the end time based on the start time and the number of occurrences
that you specify.

For example, if Occurrence displays Every Wednesday at 11:00 hrs for a schedule
record and the End Time displays 09.24.2008 11:00:00, it implies that the schedule
repeats every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. for three consecutive weeks and ends on
09.24.2008 at 11:00 hours for the last time, before it is automatically deleted.

Email Dest: Displays the email address that you provided (applicable only when you
schedule a report).

If the email address is not provided or is invalid, you will not receive any notification
though the report is generated. You need to go to the following location and select
the report you want to view: <Local_drive>:\HPSS\pa\tomcat\webapps\
pa\reports

. All the reports are available in this location. (Local drive on the

management station refers to the C drive, where the Windows operating system is
installed, and the HPSS folder is also copied to the C drive).

As per the specified start time and schedule frequency, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
creates a report and adds a record for that report in the Reports section (Reports+View
Reports).

Provides the report as a file attachment to the email notification that is sent to the intended
recipients.

Click Reset anytime to clear the current selections and restore the default settings.

Creating report for busiest LDEVs and RAID groups

The LDEV IO report provides data on the busiest frontend and the backend LDEVs and RAID groups
on an XP or a P9000 disk array. It is based on the frontend I/Os and the backend transfers. You
can view the report for 8 - 128 busiest frontend and backend LDEVs, and 8 - 32 busiest frontend
and backend RAID groups. The port type, such as Fibre, Ficon, Escon, or FCoE (applicable only
for P9000 disk arrays) is also displayed beside the port ID, which is associated with the particular
LDEV.
