The following are important notes applicable for both the one-time and scheduled configuration
data collection:
•
Select
only one command device for an XP or an XP7 disk array to perform the
configuration
data collection for that array.
•
When
a configuration data collection is in progress for an XP or an XP7 disk array, do not
initiate
another configuration data collection for the same array.
•
The
configuration changes made to an XP or an XP7 disk array after a one-time collection is
not
automatically updated in HP XP7 Performance Advisor. You must perform the one-time
configuration
data collection again to receive the latest configuration data for that XP or XP7
disk
array. However, if you have scheduled the configuration data collection for an XP or an
XP7 disk array, HP XP7 Performance Advisor automatically retrieves the latest configuration
data
as per the selected schedule frequency.
•
The initiated collection must be completed before another collection is re-initiated.
•
If
an XP or an XP7 disk array is connected to a host agent that is running on HP-UX 11i v3
operating
system, the DSF is displayed in a new format. A legacy DSF is displayed in
parenthesis
next to the new format.
•
Components 101-16483 represent the external RAID group information collected using the
outband mode.
•
With
every outband mode of configuration data collection for an XP or an XP7 disk array,
HP
XP7 Performance Advisor gets the latest internal raw disk capacity of that XP disk array
or
the latest usable capacity of that P9500 disk array. These values are updated under
Array
Capacity (TB) on the License screen. So, it is necessary that the SVP for the
XP/
XP7 disk array be online, accessible, not locked by any other user, or under
maintenance.
•
If
an outband mode of configuration data collection is in progress for an XP or an XP7 disk
array,
HP XP7 Performance Advisor stops collecting configuration data in the following
cases:
◦
If the usable capacity of a P9500 disk array or the internal raw disk capacity of an XP
disk array cannot be updated
In such a case, HP XP7 Performance Advisor displays the following appropriate error
message under the Configuration Collection tab:
Array
capacity data could not be fetched through SVP for the XP disk array
or XP7 disk array
disk
array is online, the SVP is accessible and not under maintenance, or locked by
another
resource. The outband configuration data collection will not be allowed for this
XP
disk array until the problem is resolved.
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen. If you have scheduled
a configuration data collection, a failure notification message is also sent to the recipient
email address, specified in the Data Collection Email Settings section on the Email Settings
screen. For more information, see
“Configuring email and SNMP settings” (page 73)
◦
If
the license has expired or licensed capacities have exceeded the grace period for
an
XP or an XP7 disk array
In such a case, HP XP7 Performance Advisor displays the following error message under
the Configuration Collection tab:
Configuration collection is stopped due to license violation for array
Simultaneously, an event is also logged on the Event Log screen.
