HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 50)

The following are important notes applicable for both the one-time and scheduled configuration
data collection:
•
Select only one command device for an XP or a P9000 disk array to perform the configuration
data collection for that array.
•
When a configuration data collection is in progress for an XP or a P9000 disk array, do not
initiate another configuration data collection for the same array.
•
The configuration changes made to an XP or a P9000 disk array after a one-time collection
is not automatically updated in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor. You must perform the
one-time configuration data collection again to receive the latest configuration data for that
XP or P9000 disk array. However, if you have scheduled the configuration data collection
for an XP or a P9000 disk array, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor automatically retrieves
the latest configuration data as per the selected schedule frequency.
•
The initiated collection must be completed before another collection is re-initiated.
•
If an XP or a P9000 disk array is connected to a host agent that is running on HP-UX 11i v3
operating system, the DSF is displayed in a new format. A legacy DSF is displayed in
parenthesis next to the new format.
•
Components 101-16483 represent the external RAID group information collected using the
outband mode.
•
With every outband mode of configuration data collection for an XP or a P9000 disk array,
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor gets the latest internal raw disk capacity of that XP disk
array or the latest usable capacity of that P9500 disk array. These values are updated under
Array Capacity (TB) on the License screen. So, it is necessary that the SVP for the XP or the
P9000 disk array be online, accessible, not locked by any other user, or under maintenance.
•
If an outband mode of configuration data collection is in progress for an XP or a P9000 disk
array, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor stops collecting configuration data in the following
cases:
◦ If the usable capacity of a P9500 disk array or the internal raw disk capacity of an XP
disk array cannot be updated
In such a case, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor displays the following appropriate
error message under the Configuration Collection tab:
Array capacity data could not be fetched through SVP for the XP disk array
or P9000 disk array . Ensure that the XP disk array or the P9000 disk array
is online, the SVP is accessible and not under maintenance, or locked by another resource.
The outband configuration data collection will not be allowed for this XP disk array until
the problem is resolved.
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen. If you have scheduled
a configuration data collection, a failure notification message is also sent to the recipient
email address, specified in the Data Collection Email Settings section on the Email Settings
screen. For more information, see
“Configuring email and SNMP settings” (page 71) .
◦ If the license has expired or licensed capacities have exceeded the grace period for an
XP or a P9000 disk array
In such a case, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor displays the following error message
under the Configuration Collection tab:
Configuration collection is stopped due to license violation for array
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen.
