HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 102)

• P9000 XP Continuous Access Synchronous is installed on an XP24000 Disk Array (primary storage
server) to create a secondary copy of the production data. The production data is located on the
primary volume (P-VOL) in the same XP24000 Disk Array. The secondary copy is residing on the
secondary volume (S-VOL) in an XP12000 Disk Array.
• The Oracle database server is located on a P-VOL in an XP24000 Disk Array and the data is
replicated onto two S-VOLs. One S-VOL is located within the XP24000 Disk Array and the data
is backed up using the P9000 Business Copy. The other S-VOL is located on a remote XP disk
array and the data is backed up using the P9000 Continuous Access Synchronous.
You can create two custom groups to group all the LDEVs that belong to both the P-VOLs and S-VOLs,
so that you can monitor only the selected LDEVs. By creating the custom groups, you can:
• View and analyze the performance trends of only the selected LDEVs (irrespective of the XP and
the P9000 disk arrays or the CUs they belong to).
• Plot a graph for a metric of your choice and view a graphical representation of the LDEVs perform-
ance for that particular metric when the workload was maximum.
• Configure thresholds on the LDEVs and generate alarms, if the performance values of these LDEVs
go beyond the set threshold level.
Tasks you can perform on the Custom Groups screen
• “ Creating custom groups ” on page 100
• “ Viewing custom groups configurations ” on page 102
• “ Editing custom groups ” on page 104
