The Task Results screen shows a “Running” check box with a Start time: until the task completes.
When data import finishes, you see an End time: displayed, with standard out (stdout) and
standard error (stderr) information displayed on tabbed panes in this screen. Check both tabs
for relevant information.

From the command line

Add user login information to the SSH settings for your specific system on the System
Protocol Settings

screen (Options

Protocol SettingsSystem Protocol Settings).

From the command line on the CMS, and logged in as rootor Administrator, execute the
capopvaextract

or cappmpextract command, giving the fully qualified host name as

the first argument. (See the corresponding command reference pages in

Appendix B (page 133)

for more information.)

For example:

# capovpaextract node12.company.com

Ascertaining the data collection availability for a set of servers

From within a scenario, or from the Visualization tab of Virtualization Manager, you can see
the data collection period for systems included in a scenario or for individual managed systems,
respectively. This procedure describes how to create a list of selected (or all) licensed servers and
their data collection periods, and is for use when you want to quickly see the data collection
periods for a set of servers without creating or accessing a scenario to do so.

Prerequisites

You must have command-line access to the CMS managing the systems of interest.

The systems of interest must be licensed for Capacity Advisor.

Procedure 5-12 From the command line

Type

capprofile -lv

to see a list showing the name of each licensed system managed by this CMS, dates for which
data has been collected, and the percent of data considered valid by Capacity Advisor.

For other options, see capprofile in

Appendix B (page 133)

.

To return to a planning checklist:

Obtaining reports on current resource usage [p. 35]

Possible sources of discrepancies in collected data

Several possibilities exist to explain discrepancies that may appear in the data or that may affect
data collection. Check these possibilities to understand what actions you can take to correct the
discrepancy.

No data collected for a managed node

If you do not obtain data on systems from which you expect to collect data, it is possible that the
system has not been licensed for use with Capacity Advisor, either through Insight Dynamics
or through HP Insight Capacity Advisor Consolidation software.

Data timestamp appears to be incorrect

For best accuracy in providing simulation solutions and historic reporting of actual system
resource use, it is assumed that the time clocks of managed nodes are synchronized with the
time clock of the central management server. If, on gathering or collecting data, the date stamp
on your data is not current, the time or time zone on a managed node may be set incorrectly in
relation to the CMS.
