HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software Licenses - Manual (Page 47)

You can also add or refresh storage systems and hosts on the Resources tab, but not edit or remove
them. The process for removing hosts cannot be a data collection task because this involves storage
resource operations such as releasing volume allocation and deleting volumes. You manage the
process of removing hosts using the Tasks & Alerts tab.
Performing these tasks on either the Administration or the Resources tab opens the same dialog, which,
after you submit the task, informs you that a data collection task was registered. Data collection tasks
are listed on the Administration tab, under Managed Resources, on the Data Collection Tasks tab.
These tasks can be sorted, filtered, and deleted like other tasks listed on the Tasks & Alerts tab.
NOTE:
The Tasks & Alerts tab does not list data collection tasks, and the global monitoring bar task status
links do not show status for data collection tasks.
For each data collection task:
• Type indicates the type of data collection task performed (for example, Add Storage Systems)
• Status indicates completion or failure of the task
TIP:
Click the Status link for a task to view task details. If the task fails, a message is included in the
Summary that describes the reason the task failed.
When a task fails or it was stopped prior to its completion, it can be restarted while retaining the
same configured values set when the task was initially registered. However, you cannot restart a task
once the task is deleted. For example, if a task has been restarted several times, and the last instance
of this task is restarted and deleted, the task cannot be restarted again.
Delete finished tasks if they are no longer necessary.
Restarting a data collection task
Data collection tasks might fail due to a communication error or because the target storage system
has an exclusive control lock in place. Data collection tasks that fail before they complete can be
restarted. Restarted tasks inherit the values that were set when the task was registered.
Prerequisites
• Verify that the target task status is Failed.
1. On the Administration tab, select Managed Resources.
2. On the Data Collection Tasks tab, click the Failed link for the data collection task you want to
restart.
View the Message box in the Data Collection Task Detail dialog box to determine whether the
task can be restarted.
3. Click Restart Task and verify the information in the summary list of the Restart Task dialog box.
4. Click Submit to restart the task.
5. Verify the task status on the Data Collection Tasks tab.
Verify the results for each task by viewing the details of the task.
