IMPORTANT:
•
After
the data is archived, it is permanently deleted from the HP XP7 Performance Advisor
database
and the free disk space is released back to the database. If you want to use the
archived
data for an XP or an XP7 disk array, import the corresponding .dmp files.
Before
importing data to XP or XP7 disk array on the management station, ensure
configuration
collection is performed for a particular array, or perform a fresh configuration
data
collection.. If you want to take a backup of the HP XP7 Performance Advisor database
before
archiving, use the Backup utility. For more information, see
.
•
You can import the archived data on to the same management station or another management
station. However, ensure that the version of HP XP7 Performance Advisor installed on the
target management station is same as that installed on the source management station, from
where the data is exported. For more information on importing data, see
•
If you retain the current date and time for archiving the data, and the last collection date and
time is before the current date and time, HP XP7 Performance Advisor considers the last
collection date and time for archiving the data. For example, if 2008–11–17 17:00:00 is
the current date and time, and 2008–11–01 17:00:00 is the last collection time stamp, HP
XP7 Performance Advisor considers 2008–11–01 17:00:00 for archiving data.
To
archive the data for an XP or an XP7 disk array:
1.
Click PA and DB Settings+Database Manager in the left pane.
2.
On the Database Manager screen, click the Archive Export/Archive Import tab.
3.
In
the Archive Export section, select the XP/XP7 disk array serial number from the
Array
list.
The
Last Collection Cycle displays the date and time when the performance data was last
collected
for the selected XP/XP7 disk array.
4.
In the Archive up to section, select the date using the calendar and time from the Hour : Minute
: Seconds lists.
If you do not specify a date and time, the current management station date and time is
considered for archiving the data.
