Managing custom groups

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:
