74 XP Performance Control Export Tool
Description
The set subcommand starts or ends monitoring the 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.
To use the set subcommand, you must use the login subcommand (see ”
The login subcommand ” on
page 57) 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 users 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 the set subcommand can execute.
NOTE:
•
The batch files can include script that execute when an error occurs. For information about writing
such a script in the batch file, see ” Notes ” on page 52.
• When the set subcommand starts or ends the monitoring or changes the gathering interval after the
XP Auto LUN pane is started, the contents displayed in the XP Auto LUN pane does not automatically
change with the set subcommand operation. To display the current monitoring status in the XP Auto
LUN pane, click the Refresh button.
Operands

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