The set subcommand

Syntax

set

Δ[switch={m|off}]

Description

The set subcommand starts or ends monitoring the disk array (that is, starts or ends collecting

performance statistics). The set subcommand also specifies the gathering interval (interval of collecting

statistics) in short range monitoring.
If you want to use the set subcommand, you must use the login subcommand (see ”

The login

subcommand

” on page 56) to log onto the SVP. Ensure that the set subcommand executes immediately

before the Export Tool finishes.
Executing the set subcommand generates an error in the following conditions:

Some other user is being logged onto the SVP in Modify mode

Maintenance operations are being performed at the SVP

If an error occurs, do the following:

Ensure that all the users who are logged onto the SVP are not in Modify mode. If any user is logged on

in Modify mode, ask the user to switch to View mode.

Wait until maintenance operations finish at the SVP, so that the set subcommand can execute.

NOTE:

Your batch files can include script that should execute when an error occurs. For information about

writing such a script in your batch file, refer to

Notes

” on page 51.

When the set subcommand starts or ends the monitoring or changes the gathering interval after the

Auto LUN XP pane is started, the contents displayed in the Auto LUN XP pane does not change

automatically in conjunction with the set subcommand operation. To display the current monitoring

status in the Auto LUN XP pane, click the Refresh button.

={m|off}

To start monitoring, specify the gathering interval (interval of collecting statistics) of monitoring data at
m

. Specify a value between 1 and 15 minutes. m is the gathering interval in short range monitoring by

Auto LUN XP. Note that the gathering interval in long range is fixed to 15 minutes.
To end monitoring, specify off.
If this operand is omitted, the set subcommand does not make settings for starting or ending

monitoring.

Example

The following command file saves port statistics and then ends monitoring ports:

login expusr passwd

show

group Port

shortrange 200404010850:200404010910
