When the performance data collection is in progress, you can perform the following functions. Allow
P9000 Performance Advisor to complete at least two performance data collection cycles before you
proceed with the following tasks. This is to ensure that sufficient data is available that can be projected
on the respective screens:
• View a graphical representation of the performance of components for different metrics and dur-
ation that you specify. For more information, see “
Plotting charts ” on page 262.
• View the performance summary of components on the Array View screen. For more information,
see “
Viewing performance summary ” on page 196.
• Configure alarms on components, so that P9000 Performance Advisor can send appropriate alarm
notifications. For more information, see “
Adding or removing metric values ” on page 138.
• Create custom groups for a set of LDEVs that you want to frequently monitor. For more information,
see “
Creating custom groups ” on page 100.
• Create and schedule reports to view the performance data of components for different metrics,
and duration that you specify. For more information, see “
Generating, saving, or scheduling re-
ports ” on page 327.
In case of performance data collection failures, the appropriate failure messages are displayed on
the Event Log screen. P9000 Performance Advisor can also dispatch email notification about the
collection failure to the intended recipient. To receive performance data collection failure notification,
you must configure the appropriate email notification settings. For more information, see “
