Enabling performance collection schedules for automatic updates
You can enable the performance data collection schedules to automatically collect the performance
data for newly discovered RAID groups and ports. The new RAID groups and ports in an XP or a
P9000 disk array are discovered during the scheduled configuration data collection. They are
automatically appended to the existing list of RAID groups and ports in the corresponding performance
data collection schedule, which is enabled to collect performance data for the new components. The
newly discovered components are added to only those performance data collection schedules that
are enabled for automatic updates. P9000 Performance Advisor collects data for new RAID groups
and ports from the subsequent data collection cycle.
The new components can also comprise of virtual volumes, such as ThP, snapshot, continuous access
journals, and the external RAID groups. The virtual volumes cannot be split across two schedules.
They are automatically added to only those performance data collection schedules that are already
collecting the performance data for these virtual volumes. It is irrespective of whether the performance
data collection schedule is enabled to receive automatic updates.
For a schedule to automatically collect data for the new set of RAID groups and ports, select the Add
new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box while creating a performance data collection
schedule. The following table provides scenarios on when a schedule can be enabled for automatic
updates.
What happens... Automatic updates Scenarios
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are
automatically appended to the existing list for which
performance data collection is scheduled. The performance
data collection continues for the new components also.
Enabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates. One schedule cre-
ated (Schedule 1)
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are not
appended to the existing list of RAID groups and ports. You
have to modify the performance data collection schedule
later to add or remove components from Schedule 1.
Disabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates.
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are
automatically appended to the existing list for which Schedule
1 is in progress. The performance data collection continues
for the new components also.
Schedule 2 is automatically disabled for automatic updates,
as Schedule 1 is already enabled to receive automatic
updates.
Hence, you must edit the schedule manually to add or remove
components from Schedule 2. However, if Schedule 1 is not
enabled for automatic updates, you can still enable Schedule
2 to receive automatic updates.
Enabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates.
Two schedules cre-
ated (Schedule 1
and Schedule 2)
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are neither
added to Schedule 1 or Schedule 2. Hence, you must edit
the schedules manually to add or remove components in the
existing list. Both Schedule 1 or
Schedule 2 are disabled
to receive automatic
updates.
Two schedules cre-
ated (Schedule 1
and Schedule 2)
