Managing custom groups
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor enables you to create custom groups, where you add the LDEVs
that you want to monitor frequently. The LDEVs can belong to the same or different XP disk arrays
or P9000 disk arrays. After the configuration collection is complete for the XP and the P9000 disk
arrays, the associated LDEV IDs and their details are displayed on the Custom Groups screen.
The Custom Groups screen appears when you click PA and DB Settings+Custom Groups in the left
pane. You can scroll through the list of records on the Custom Groups screen to select LDEV records
and add them to a custom group. You can filter the existing list of LDEV records based on the
associated ACP pairs, ports, and the RAID groups. In addition, you can also filter the LDEV records
based on an XP or a P9000 disk array, host, or a combination of them to view only those LDEV
records that match your specific requirement. For example, LDEV records can be filtered based on
the following combination: ACP pair, host, XP and P9000 disk array.
After you create a custom group, you can:
•
View the performance summary of the associated LDEVs. For more information, see
performance summary” (page 177)
•
View a graphical representation of the associated LDEVs performance for specific LDEV metric
and duration of your choice. For more information, see
•
Configure alarms on the associated LDEVs, so that HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor monitors
and sends appropriate notifications to intended recipients. For more information, see
The following are important notes on custom groups:
•
The LDEVs associated with multiple RAID groups or multiple ACPs are treated as separate
group of items. For example, if you have an LDEV associated with the RAID group 1-1 1-2,
you must select 1-1 1-2 in the RAID Groups list. An LDEV mapped to the RAID group 1-1 1-2
is treated separately from an LDEV mapped only to the RAID group 1-1 or 1-2.
•
If HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor is upgraded from v3.2 or earlier to the current version,
the existing custom group names are automatically appended with _CG.
•
Each page on the Custom Group screen displays 150 LDEV records. The selection of records
on the current page is retained when you navigate to other pages.
•
The custom groups uniquely identify the LDEVs based on the following LUN attributes:
Host groups
