7 Exporting Performance Monitor data
This appendix describes and provides instructions for export the Performance Monitor data for
your HP XP7 Storage system using the Export Tool for use in spreadsheet and other applications.
About the Export Tool
Use the Export Tool to export the monitoring data (statistics) shown in the Monitor Performance
window to text files. You can also use the Export Tool to export monitoring data on remote copy
operations performed by Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access Synchronous Z,
Continuous Access Journal, and Continuous Access Journal Z. After exporting monitoring data to
text files, you can import that data into desktop publishing applications, such as Microsoft Word,
or into spreadsheet or database applications for analysis.
Example of a text file
The following example is of a text file imported into spreadsheet software.
NOTE: In this LU_IOPS.csv file, the last four digits of a table column heading (such as 0001
and 0002) indicate a LUN. For example, the heading CL1-A.00(1A-G00).0001 indicates the port
CL1-A, the host group ID 00, the host group name 1A-G00, and the LUN 0001.
If you export monitoring data about concatenated parity groups, the resulting CSV file does not
contain column headings for the concatenated parity groups. For example, if you export monitoring
data about a concatenated parity group named 1-3[1-4], you will be unable to find 1- 3[1-4] in
column headings. To locate monitoring data about 1-3[1-4], find the 1-3 column or the 1-4 column.
Either of these columns contains monitoring data about 1-3[1-4].
Preparing to use the Export Tool
Export Tool limitation
Running multiple instances of the Export Tool simultaneously is not supported. If you run multiple
instances, SVP can become overloaded and a timeout error can occur.
Requirements for the Export Tool
