supports limited concurrency, these functions are performed by the sampleloop process).
These include:
–
The trimdb process removes samples that are older than the sample retention period
specified in the sampling policies (see
“Configuring Sampling Policies” (page 113)
).
–
The dedupinv process removes duplicate entries from the inventory tables.
–
The compactdb process periodically compacts and optimizes the database when
necessary.
•
Adaptive Optimization components. The sampleloop process also creates a regionmover
process for each HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage array for which Adaptive Optimization is
configured (see
“Selecting an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for Adaptive Optimization”
). Each regionmover process analyzes region level performance data for each
Adaptive Optimization configuration and generates region moves between tiers. The
regionmover process creates a separate CLI process that logs into the array and executes the
mvrg program that executes the data movement commands on the array.
•
Web server components. The HP 3PAR System Reporter Web server has customized scripts
that access the database to generate reports to standard browsers as clients, enabling users
to access the reports and configure System Reporter without installing any additional software.
•
Excel client. The customized HP 3PAR System Reporter Excel client has built-in Web queries
to the Web server. Use of the Excel client is optional, but offers you additional options. You
must have Microsoft Excel in order to use the HP 3PAR System Reporter Excel client.
