Filtering data
You can filter the data that is collected for specific items, such as a word or a host port name. For
example, enter the following command:
evaperf as -sz array1 array2 -fd test
The output indicates where test appears on array 1 or array 2.
Specifying data output in multiple files
You can generate output for several commands and save the output for each command in a separate
file, organized by array. When you run the mof command with the -csv and -od modifiers, it
executes the ls, as, cs, vd, vdg, hc, ps, hps, pd, pdg, drg, and drt commands and saves
the output of each command for each array in a separate, CSV-formatted file in the directory you
specify. The naming convention for each file is array name_command name_date and time
stamp.csv
.
For example, enter the following command to store the output of the mof command in the analysis
directory:
mof -csv -od C:\analysis
Using the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter
The HP TimeLine Visualizer (TLViz) is a tool to generate graphical representations of performance
data. The HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter is a graphical user interface that
helps convert the output from HP P6000 Performance Data Collector into a TLViz-compatible format.
The formatter is installed as part of the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector software, which is
installed through the HP P6000 Command View Software Suite. The formatter includes a Microsoft
Access database template. After running the TLViz formatter tool, an option is provided to load
the database with the data obtained from HP P6000 Performance Data Collector software.
The HP TLViz tool is available for download at
To format HP P6000 Performance Data Collector data for TLViz:
