Create custom groups for a set of LDEVs that you want to frequently monitor. For more
information, see
“Creating custom groups” (page 84) .
•
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
reports” (page 298) .
In case of performance data collection failures, the appropriate failure messages are displayed
on the Event Log screen. HP XP7 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
“Configuring email and SNMP settings” (page 73) .

Enabling performance collection schedules for automatic updates
You
can enable the performance data collection schedules to automatically collect the performance
data
for newly discovered RAID groups and ports. The new RAID groups and ports in an XP or
an
XP7 disk array are discovered during the scheduled configuration data collection. They are
automatically
appended to the existing list of RAID groups and ports in the corresponding
performance
data collection schedule, which is enabled to collect performance data for the new
components.
The newly discovered components are added to only those performance data collection
schedules
that are enabled for automatic updates. HP XP7 Performance Advisor collects data for
new
RAID groups and ports from the subsequent data collection cycle.
The new components can also comprise of virtual volumes, such as ThP, snapshot, continuous
access journals, and the external RAID groups. The virtual volumes cannot be split across two
schedules. They are automatically added to only those performance data collection schedules that
are already collecting the performance data for these virtual volumes. It is irrespective of whether
the performance data collection schedule is enabled to receive automatic updates.
For a schedule to automatically collect data for the new set of RAID groups and ports, select the
Add new RGs and Ports to the schedules that have RG and Port components enabled check box
while creating a performance data collection schedule. The following table provides scenarios on
when a schedule can be enabled for automatic updates.
