HP XP Continuous Access Software - Manual (Page 174)

NOTE:
• History information (that is, rows in the list) might not appear in chronological descending order.
To sort the information in descending (or ascending) order, click a header in the list.
• The History Operation pane can display history information for up to 65,535 operations.
However, the pane can only display up to 16,384 operations at one time. To display the
remaining operations, click Previous or Next.
• The History Operation pane does not display history information older than seven days. If the
number of operations exceeds 65,535, the oldest operations are deleted in chronological order to
keep the number at 65,535, even if the operations occurred within the last week. The history file
always contains the most recent operations up to a maximum of 65,535 operations. The history
information for an entire week might not always be available.
• Even if a failure causes two or more data volume pairs to be split (suspended) at the same time,
only two rows showing Pairsplit-r(Failure) are displayed.
• If a data volume pair consists of LUSE volumes, the list only displays the top of the LDEV numbers
of the LUSE volumes.
• Previous: The list displays up to a maximum of 16,384 operations at a time. If the number of
operations exceeds 16,384, click Previous to display the previous 16,384 operations.
• Next: The list displays up to a maximum of 16,384 operations at a time. If the number of
operations exceeds 16,384, click Next to display the next 16,384 operations.
Saving operation history to a text file
Use the snapshot function to save operation history to a text file. This text file is called a snapshot file.
NOTE:
You can use the snapshot function only when client file access is enabled. When client file access is not
enabled, the Snapshot button does not appear on the History Operation pane. For more information
about client file access settings, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for XP Disk
Arrays or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 .
NOTE:
If the number of operations exceeds approximately 10,000, the snapshot file is too large to save on a
floppy disk. If this happens, save the snapshot file on a large-capacity disk.
The following is an example of a snapshot file.
