HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 62)

One-time configuration data collection
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you start the configuration data collection for
the XP and the P9000 disk arrays. These prerequisites are common for both the one-time and scheduled
configuration data collection:
• Start the configuration data collection only when a command device is created on an XP or a
P9000 disk array. For more information on creating command devices, refer to the HP Storage-
Works P9000 Performance Advisor Software Installation Guide.
• If multiple SLPRs are configured in an XP disk array, select the command device in the SLPR0.
However, if you select a command device in the SLPR1 or SLPR2, the configuration information
associated with the SLPR0 cannot be accessed due to security implementations.
NOTE:
SLPR does not exist in the P9000 disk arrays. So, the above-mentioned point is not applicable for
the P9000 disk arrays.
To perform a one-time configuration data collection:
1. Click Monitoring > Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
2. Click the Configuration Collection tab. The Configuration Collection table displays the list of
command device records for all the XP and the P9000 disk arrays that are monitored by P9000
Performance Advisor.
3. Select the command device record corresponding to the XP or the P9000 disk array for which
you want to collect the configuration data.
Alternatively, click an XP or a P9000 disk array icon displayed above the Configuration Collection
tab to view the corresponding set of records highlighted in the Configuration Collection table.
The existing set of records are automatically sorted to display the command devices that belong
to the selected XP or P9000 disk array at the beginning of the Configuration Collection table.
4. Retain the Collection Period as One Time (default selection).
