HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 326)

IMPORTANT:
•
Your application can be associated with LDEVs that are made available through different hosts
and WWNs.
•
There is no limit on the number of applications that you can associate with hosts and WWNs.
To start troubleshooting performance issues of components that are associated with an application:
1.
Click
Troubleshooting+Host Based in the left pane.
The
list of the XP and the XP7 disk arrays monitored by HP XP7 Performance Advisor are
displayed
in the component selection tree under Host Based.
2. Select
the XP/XP7 disk array for which you want to associate an application.
3. Click Configure Application.
The Configure Application dialog box appears.
4. Click Add.
5. Do one of the following:
•
Click the Host Groups option and choose the host group from the list. The host groups
for hosts communicating with the selected disk array are listed.
•
Click the WWN option and choose the WWN from the list. The WWNs for hosts
communicating with the selected disk array are listed.
6. Click New under Application and provide the application name. If you want to associate an
existing application with the selected host group or WWN, click Existing under Application
Name and choose the application from the list. There may be instances where the LDEVs
associated with an application are made available through two hosts that belong to different
WWNs or host groups. In such cases, you may want to associate the application with both
the hosts. There may be cases where the same set of LDEVs are made available through one
host to two different applications. In such cases, you may want to associate the host with both
the applications.
Initially, when HP XP7 Performance Advisor is first installed, the Existing list does not display
any application entries, as the association is not yet configured.
The following image shows the Configure Application dialog box for 53040, which belongs
to the P9500 Disk Array type.
