capovpaextract (1M)
NAME
capovpaextract -- Export Performance Agent (OVPA) system data from the specified managed
node and import the data into Capacity Advisor.
SYNOPSIS
Path on CMS:
• /opt/vse/bin/
capovpaextract [ -b begin-time -e end-time ] [ -p ] managed_node
capovpaextract -h
DESCRIPTION
capovpaextract exports OVPA (MeasureWare data) system utilization information from the
specified managed node and imports the information into Capacity Advisor. The data returned
from managed_node overwrites any existing data for the managed node. The user must have root
privileges to run this command.
capovpaextract allows importing data from non-Insight Dynamics (non-ID) systems, such
as older HP-UX systems or Solaris systems so long as those systems are running a supported
OVPA version. Supported OVPA versions are listed in the Dependencies section of this command
reference page.
OPTIONS
-b start-time -e end-time
Specifies the beginning (start-time) and ending (end-time) dates of data in MM/DD/YY
(month/day/year) format. If no start or end time is given, 30 days of data are imported.
-p
Indicates that the workload whose data is being imported is a non-Insight Dynamics workload.
This provides an alternative to importing OVPA data from non-licensed systems to use in Capacity
Advisor scenarios. If a non-ID workload already exists in the Capacity Advisor data, an error
message appears. Non-ID workloads are not associated with any licensed nodes and are not
visible on the Insight Dynamics Workload tab.
To import non-Insight Dynamics workload data, use the following GUI action sequence starting
from the Capacity Advisor tab: Modify -> Edit Planning Scenario -> What-If Action -> Create
Workloads. Activate the radio button “Use profile data from workload” and choose a non-ID
workload from the “Import Profile Values” workload list. You must know ahead of time the
name of the non-ID workload.
-h
Displays command usage.
Dependencies
This command uses the remote execution facilities provided by HP Systems Insight Manager
software, and therefore requires the configuration of SSH authentication within HP SIM for the
specified managed_node.
Capacity Advisor supports the following versions of OVPA :
