parameter evapdcs.SslEnabled needs to be set to true in evaperf.conf file to enable
SSL mode operations.
Note the following:
•
Authentication is required only for remote clients.
•
A new file, rpcserver.conf, is created on the client side after the remote HP P6000
Performance Data Collector service configuration.
•
The TCP port for the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector service port can be changed by
changing the parameter Evapdcs.RPCPort to the required port number in the
evaperf.conf
file.
•
Any change to the default settings is accomplished by changing the values in the
evaperf.conf
file. Before executing the change, the sample_evaperf.conf file must
be renamed to evaperf.conf. HP recommends that you then change the value for the
desired parameter. After changing the values, save the file and restart the HP P6000
Performance Data Collector service for the changes to take effect.
Return to the normal mode of operation by deleting the rpcserver.conf file and restarting the
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector service.
SSL protocol
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector supports SSLv3 protocol only. Earlier versions are not
supported. The default port number remains 860.
SSL is slower than a traditional unsecured TCP/IP connection. The initial handshake involves use
of public key cryptography, which is very slow. After the initial handshake is complete and the
session is established, the overhead is significantly reduced, but is slower than an unsecured TCP/IP
connection.
Prohibited commands
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector is not installed or available on the EVA4400, P63x0 EVA,
or P65x0 EVA management module. However, with HP P6000 Command View array-based
management, you can install HP P6000 Performance Data Collector on a server with a Fibre
Channel connection to the storage system and use it to monitor the performance of an EVA4400,
P63x0 EVA, or P65x0 EVA.
When HP P6000 Performance Data Collector client is remotely connected to the HP P6000
Performance Data Collector server, you cannot execute the following commands:
•
dpw wwn
•
luns
•
pfa [array]*
•
pfd
•
pfh
•
pfs
•
pfvd [vdisk]*
•
