HP P6000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 11)

The HP P6000 Performance Advisor instance will collect performance data and display relevant
metrics at the storage system, object type, and performance object levels. For more information,
see
“Viewing performance metrics of storage systems” (page 90) .
NOTE:
•
Two different HP P6000 Performance Advisor instances cannot simultaneously monitor a
storage system in a management group.
•
The list of metrics displayed under Controller and Storage System object types gets updated
during state data collection cycle based on Storage System’s support for XCOPY and WSAME
metrics.
•
To effectively collect the performance data for XCOPY and WSAME metrics and Writes-in-Cache
(Basic Async) and Not-Ack.Writes (Basic Async) metrics of Data Replication Group, all
Performance Data Collector instances added in P6000 Performance Advisor must be upgraded
to Performance Data Collector 10.1 or later.
Procedure
To quickly configure HP P6000 Performance Advisor to monitor and provide relevant metrics on
storage systems and performance objects:
1.
Use the Quick Setup wizard to:
a.
Add the fully qualified server names or IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) of the HP P6000
Performance Data Collector instances, one after the other.
b. Add the storage systems. Only those storage systems visible through the discovered HP
Command View and accessible through the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector
instances (added in the previous step) are displayed. The storage systems with an invalid
license state cannot be added. For more information on managing licenses, refer to the
HP P6000 Command View User Guide.
c. Add all performance objects in an object type. By default, storage systems, controllers
and host ports are mandatorily added.
d. Configure the performance and state data collection polling intervals that are applicable
across all the selected storage systems and corresponding objects.
e. Configure the dashboard profile.
For more information, see “Using the Quick Setup” (page 51) .
To add storage systems and specific performance objects, see “Adding performance objects
for monitoring” (page 55) .
2. View key metric charts and statistical data of monitored storage systems and performance
objects for the set of counters defined by HP P6000 Performance Advisor. For more information,
see
“Viewing a summary of key metrics” (page 108) .
3. Plot charts to view live or historical performance data samples of storage systems and objects
for a specified duration. For more information, see
“Adding charts” (page 119) .
To understand HP P6000 Performance Advisor functions, such as key metrics, KPIs, charts, and
reports, see
“HP P6000 Performance Advisor concepts” (page 18) . See “Quick tour of HP P6000
Performance Advisor pages” (page 42) for a description of the pages in HP P6000 Performance
Advisor.
For monitored storage systems and corresponding performance objects, you can:
•
Configure minor and major threshold levels and view the threshold summary. For more
information, see
“Adding performance objects for monitoring” (page 55) .
•
Configure dashboard threshold settings for the storage system and view live performance
data. Drill down to view performance of the corresponding controllers and host ports. For
more information, see
“Configuring dashboard settings” (page 62) and “Viewing the
Dashboard Overview” (page 90) .
