HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 93)

IMPORTANT:
•
For a P9000 disk array (such as the P9500) or for an XP24000 Disk Array, the IP address of the
management station is also registered with the array SVP.
• For a P9000 disk array (such as the P9500), it is recommended that you maintain separate SVP
login credentials, which you can use for outband mode of configuration data collection.
• On a few occasions, the SVP IP address registration can fail for a P9000 disk array (such as the
P9500) or for an XP24000 Disk Array, due to the following reasons:
• The SVP is offline or locked by another user
• The IP address does not belong to the selected array SVP
• If you upgrade P9000 Performance Advisor from v4.1 or later version, and the SVP registration
data already exists for the XP24000 Disk Array, it is automatically available in the newer version
of P9000 Performance Advisor when the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Tomcat
service starts. So, the SVP registration process need not be repeated. If the upgrade fails for some
reason, the SVP registration data is still available in the existing version from where you had
planned the upgrade.
• The registration process may take some time. After you provide the XP or the P9000 disk array
IP address and click Register, wait till P9000 Performance Advisor displays a confirmation that
the registration is complete.
