One-time configuration data collection
Prerequisites
Ensure
that the following prerequisites are met before you start the configuration data collection
for
the XP and the XP7 disk arrays. These prerequisites are common for both the one-time and
scheduled
configuration data collection:
•
Start
the configuration data collection only when a command device is created on an XP
or
an XP7 disk array. For more information on creating command devices, refer to the HP
XP7
Performance Advisor Software Installation Guide.
•
If multiple SLPRs are configured in an XP disk array, select the command device in the SLPR0.
However, if you select a command device in the SLPR1 or SLPR2, the configuration information
associated with the SLPR0 cannot be accessed due to security implementations.
NOTE:
◦ SLPR
does not exist in the P9500 and XP7 disk arrays. So, the above-mentioned point
is
not applicable for the P9500 and XP7 disk arrays.
◦ The
outband mode of configuration data collection allows HP XP7 Performance
Advisor
to directly collect data from the XP or XP7 disk array through the array SVP.
To perform a one-time configuration data collection:
1.
Click Monitoring+Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
2. Click
the Configuration Collection tab. The Configuration Collection table displays the list
of
command device records for all the XP and the XP7 disk arrays that are monitored by
HP
XP7 Performance Advisor.
3. Select
the command device record corresponding to the XP/XP7 disk array for which
you want to collect the configuration data.
Alternatively,
click an XP or an XP7 disk array icon displayed above the Configuration
Collection
tab to view the corresponding set of records highlighted in the Configuration
Collection
table. The existing set of records are automatically sorted to display the command
devices
that belong to the selected XP or XP7 disk array at the beginning of the
Configuration
Collection table.
4. Retain the Collection Period as One Time (default selection).
