Charting groups
Use the Group Configuration screen to create and chart metrics of groups of specific hosts and array
components instead of charting the metrics of specific arrays. This screen enables you to perform this
function as it acts as a configurable Grid Display screen.
After you select the parameters for your group, go to the PA XP Charts screen to view a aggregate of your
selections. For example, the system can add all of the total IOs for invalid ACP pairs, or the system can
add the LDEVs for a custom RAID group. Ensure that you select every element that you want to appear in
your chart, because the system charts only those elements that are specified.
After you have created a group in the Group Configuration screen, the group automatically appears in
the Array/Group drop-down menu in the Charts screen. For more information, see
.
NOTE:
LDEVs associated with multiple RAID groups or multiple ACPs are treated as a separate group of items.
For example, if you have an LDEV with RAID group 1-1 1-2, you must select 1-1 1-2 in the drop-down
menu. An LDEV mapped to 1-1 1-2 is treated separately from a RAID group mapped only to 1-1 or 1-2.
Deleting groups

1.
Highlight the group that you want to delete in the Groups list box.
2.
Click Delete Group.

be removed. This process might take a few moments if you have a large number of groups or LDEVs.
