2 Using Performance Advisor XP
Launching Performance Advisor XP
HP StorageWorks Performance Advisor XP (PA XP) can be used as a standalone application or with
HP StorageWorks Command View XP.
To start using the application and viewing data, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to PA XP by typing the following address in a web browser: http(s)://[server name]/pa.
NOTE:
The PA XP URL is case-sensitive.
2. Enter the user name and password for PA XP. For the administrator, the user name is administrator
and the password is administrator. For a general user, the user name is user and the password is
user.
If you have upgraded to a new version of PA XP, ensure that you clear the browser cache.
For instructions on how to change the password, see
Changing the User password
3. Click the Configuration tab to view the Data Collection Configuration screen. To begin collecting
data, select a command device on the host that you want to use. You can perform data collection on
only one host per array. For more information, see Data Collection Configuration .
NOTE:
HP recommends that you allow one minute per 1,000 logical devices (LDEVs) for the
management station (computer) to keep up with collection. PA XP collects performance
data on all LDEVs in the array. Data collection is not limited to the number of LDEVs that
the host station is mapped to use. Setting the collection rate too narrow hampers the
management station and reduces its responsiveness.
Launching Performance Advisor XP with Command View XP
When Performance Advisor XP (PA XP) and CommandView XP (CV XP) are installed on the same
management station, you must log in to PA XP through CV XP, as shown in StorageWorks CommandView
XP screen . To log in to PA XP, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to CV XP log in page, by typing the following address in a web browser: http(s)://[server
name where CV is installed]
2. Enter the user name and password for CV XP.
3. In the menu on the left, click the PA XP link.
