show
The show subcommand checks SVP to find the period of monitoring data stored in SVP and
the data collection interval (called gathering interval in Performance Monitor), and then outputs
them to the standard output (for example, the command prompt) and the log file.
Performance Monitor collects statistics by the two types of storing periods: in short range and
in long range. The show subcommand displays the storing periods and the gathering intervals
for these two types of monitoring data.
The following is an example of information that the show subcommand outputs:
Short Range From: 2006/10/01 01:00 - To: 2006/10/01 15:00 Interval: 1min.
Long Range From: 2006/09/01 00:00 - To: 2006/10/01 15:00 Interval: 15min.
Short Range indicates the storing period and gathering interval of the monitoring data
stored in short range. Long Range indicates those of the monitoring data stored in long
range. In the above example, the monitoring data in short range is stored every 1 minute in
the term of 1:00-15:00 on Oct. 1, 2006. Also, the monitoring data in long range is stored
every 15 minutes in the term of Sep. 1, 2006, 0:00 through Oct. 1, 2006, 15:00. When
you run the Export Tool, you can export monitoring data within these periods into files.
All the monitoring items are stored in short range, but a part of monitoring items is stored in
both the short range and long range. For details on monitoring items that can be stored in
long range, see
“long-range” (page 81) .
The use of the show subcommand is not mandatory, but it is recommended that you include
the show subcommand in your command file. If an error occurs when you run the Export Tool,
you might be able to find the error cause by checking the log file for information issued by
the show subcommand. For detailed information about the show subcommand, see
“show”
(page 67) .

group PhyPG Long and group RemoteCopy
The group subcommand specifies the type of data that you want to export. Specify a operand
following group to define the type of data to be exported. Basically, monitoring data stored
in short range is exported. But you can direct to export monitoring data stored in long range
when you specify some of the operands.
The example script group PhyPG Long in
“Preparing a command file ” (page 57) specifies
to export usage statistics about parity groups in long range. Also, the script group
RemoteCopy
specifies to export statistics about remote copy operations by Continuous Access
Synchronous and Continuous Access Synchronous Z in short range. You can describe multiple
lines of the group subcommand to export multiple monitoring items at the same time.
For detailed information about the group subcommand, see
“group” (page 68) .

short-range 200610010850:200610010910 and long-range
200609301430:200610011430
The short-range and long-range subcommands specify the term of monitoring data to
be exported. Use these subcommands when you want to narrow the export-target term within
the stored data. You can specify both the short-range and long-range subcommands
at the same time. The difference between these subcommands is as follows:
◦ The short-range subcommand is valid for monitoring data in short range. You can
use this subcommand to narrow the export-target term for all the monitoring items you
can specify by the group subcommand.
Specify a term within "Short Range From XXX To XXX" which is output by the show
subcommand.
◦ The long-range subcommand is valid for monitoring data in long range. You can use
this subcommand only when you specify the PhyPG, PhyLDEV, PhyProc, or PhyESW
operand with the Long option in the group subcommand. (The items that can be saved
