32 XP Performance Control Export Tool
Here is an example of a text file imported into spreadsheet software:
Figure 1 Sample text file
NOTE:
•
When running the Export Tool, text files are usually compressed in a ZIP-format archive file. To open a
text file, you must decompress the ZIP file to extract the text files.
• Text files are in CSV (comma-separated value) format, in which values are delimited by commas. You
can use many spreadsheet applications to open CSV files.
• Do not run multiple instances of the Export Tool simultaneously. If you run multiple instances, the SVP
might be overloaded and a timeout error might occur.
Files to be exported
You can use the Export Tool to save monitoring data in the XP Auto LUN pane into files (see Table 3
through Table 10 ). You can also use the Export Tool to save monitoring data about remote copy
operations into files (see Table 11 through Table 18 ). The Export Tool usually compresses monitoring data
in ZIP files. To use a text editor or spreadsheet software to view or edit the monitoring data, you usually
need to decompress the ZIP files to extract CSV files. However, if you want the Export Tool to save
monitoring data in CSV files instead of ZIP files, you can force the Export Tool to do so.
Table 2 shows the correspondence between the XP Auto LUN panes and the monitoring data that the
Export Tool can save. For details on the ZIP files and CSV files that are saved, see the tables indicated in
the See column.
Transfer rates for LUs (Filename: LU_IOPS.csv)
Indicates that the subsystem serial number is 28528.
The word in parentheses is a code that indicates the subsystem type.
Indicates that the data was obtained from 10:48 to 10:52 on Nov. 25,
2004. Sampling rate: 1 indicates that monitoring was performed
every minute (at a one-minute interval).
Notes:

In this LU_IOPS.csv file, the last four digits of a table column heading (such as 0000 and 0001) indicate an
LUN. For example, the heading CL1-B.00(1B-G00).0001 indicates the port CL1-B, the host group ID 00, the
host group name 1B-G00, and the LUN 0001.

If you export monitoring data about concatenated parity groups, the resulting CSV file do not contain column
headings for the concatenated parity groups. For example, if you export monitoring data about a
concatenated parity group named 1-3[1-4], you will be unable to find 1-3[1-4] in column headings. To locate
monitoring data about 1-3[1-4], find the 1-3 column or the 1-4 column. Either of these columns contains
monitoring data about 1-3[1-4].
Indicates monitoring data. If a value is -1, the value indicates
that Performance Monitor failed to obtain the data for some
reason. For detailed information, refer to the troubleshooting
information later in this appendix.
