HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console Software - Manual (Page 144)

144 Viewing history of data volume pair operations
• The History Operation pane does not display history information older than seven days. If the
number of operations exceeds 65,535, the oldest operations are deleted in chronological
order to keep the number at 65,535, even if the operations occurred within the last week. The
history file always contains the most recent operations up to a maximum of 65,535 operations.
The history information for an entire week might not always be available.
• Even if a failure causes two or more data volume pairs to be split (suspended) at the same time,
only two rows showing Pairsplit-r(Failure) are displayed.
• Previous: The list displays up to a maximum of 16,384 operations at a time. If the number of
operations exceeds 16,384, click Previous to display the previous 16,384 operations.
• Next: The list displays up to a maximum of 16,384 operations at a time. If the number of operations
exceeds 16,384, click Next to display the next 16,384 operations.
Saving operation history to a text file
Use the snapshot function to save operation history to a text file. This text file is called a snapshot file.
NOTE: You can use the snapshot function only when client file access is enabled. When client file access
is not enabled, the Snapshot button does not appear on the History Operation pane. For more
information about client file access settings, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for
XP Disk Arrays or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
NOTE: If the number of operations exceeds approximately 10,000, the snapshot file is too large to save
on a floppy disk. If this happens, save the snapshot file on a large-capacity disk.
The following is an example of a snapshot file.
To save operation history to a snapshot file:
1. In the History Operation pane, click Snapshot. A confirmation message appears.
2. Click OK. A pane appears prompting you to save a snapshot file.
3. Enter the name of the snapshot file, and click Save. A confirmation message appears.
4. Click OK.
