HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 268)

This logical grouping of components enables easy navigation through different levels of component
types to select and view performance graphs of specific components. In the above example, the ports
are categorized under the host groups. If you notice that the response time of a particular LDEV is
high, drill down to the associated ports to view their performance metrics for the duration when the
LDEV response time is found to be high.
Based on your requirement, select components that belong to different component types under different
categories for multiple XP and P9000 disk arrays, and view their performance graphs for related
metrics in the Chart Work Area.
Custom Groups
Custom Groups displays the individual custom groups you created. These custom groups have group
of LDEVs that you want to monitor frequently. Click an individual custom group under Custom Groups
to view the LDEV main category under which all the associated LDEVs are displayed. For more
information on creating custom groups, see “
Creating custom groups ” on page 100.
Choosing metrics
When you choose an XP or a P9000 disk array, individual components, or component types in the
component selection tree, all the applicable metrics are populated in the Available Metrics Choose
Metric Category list under different metric categories. The metrics displayed are categorized based
on the metric category to which they belong. Select a metric to view the corresponding performance
graph in the Chart Work Area. You can also click the Metric check box to view performance graphs
for all the metrics listed.
The related metrics are displayed in the Available Metrics Choose Metric Category list, if you select a
homogeneous set of components, where the selected components belong to the same component type
within or across the XP and the P9000 disk arrays. The related metrics can belong to different metric
categories. For example, only the LDEV related metrics are displayed, if you choose Physical LDEVs
under Back-end > RAID Groups.
