One-time configuration data collection
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you start the configuration data collection
for the XP and the P9000 disk arrays. These prerequisites are common for both the one-time and
scheduled configuration data collection:
•
Start the configuration data collection only when a command device is created on an XP or
a P9000 disk array. For more information on creating command devices, refer to the HP XP
P9000 Performance Advisor Software Installation Guide.
•
If multiple SLPRs are configured in an XP disk array, select the command device in the SLPR0.
However, if you select a command device in the SLPR1 or SLPR2, the configuration information
associated with the SLPR0 cannot be accessed due to security implementations.
NOTE:
◦ SLPR does not exist in the P9000 disk arrays. So, the above-mentioned point is not
applicable for the P9000 disk arrays.
◦ The outband mode of configuration data collection allows HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor to directly collect data from the XP or P9000 disk array through the array SVP
(not applicable for XP1024/128 Disk Arrays).
k arrays.
To perform a one-time configuration data collection:
1.
Click Monitoring+Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
2. Click the Configuration Collection tab. The Configuration Collection table displays the list of
command device records for all the XP and the P9000 disk arrays that are monitored by HP
XP P9000 Performance Advisor.
3. Select the command device record corresponding to the XP or the P9000 disk array for which
you want to collect the configuration data.
Alternatively, click an XP or a P9000 disk array icon displayed above the Configuration
Collection tab to view the corresponding set of records highlighted in the Configuration
Collection table. The existing set of records are automatically sorted to display the command
devices that belong to the selected XP or P9000 disk array at the beginning of the Configuration
Collection table.
4. Retain the Collection Period as One Time (default selection).
5. Based on the disk array that you selected, following are the further course of steps:
If you selected an XP disk array and outband mode of configuration data collection:
•
Manually enter the SVP IP address in the SVP IP Address text box and proceed to next
step to initiate the configuration data collection.
If you already registered the XP disk array SVP with the respective management station,
the corresponding SVP IP address is displayed in the SVP IP Address text box. For more
information, see
“Registering the XP or P9000 disk array SVP IP address in HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor” (page 75) .
