HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 265)

Drive types navigation path
The Drive Types main category comprises the individual drive types that are available on the
selected XP or P9000 disk array. Each drive type in the component selection tree expands to
display the list of associated RAID groups, which in turn display the list of physical LDEVs. Following
is the component selection path:
Drive Types > Individual drive types > RAID Groups (component type) > Individual RAID groups >
Physical LDEVs (component type) > Individual physical LDEVs.
IMPORTANT: When you plot the performance data points for a RAID group, the associated drive
type is also displayed in the legend for the selected RAID group (Drive Type:,
example: Drive Type: DKR2E-J146FC).
The number of components associated with a component type is displayed beside it. For example:
•
Drive Types (1)
•
RAID Groups (6)
•
Physical LDEVs (884)
