Filtering data
You can filter the data that is collected for specific items, such as a word or a host port name. For
example, enter the following command:
evaperf as -sz array1 array2 -fd test
The output indicates where test appears on array 1 or array 2.
Specifying data output in multiple files
You can generate output for several commands and save the output for each command in a separate
file, organized by array. When you run the mof command with the -csv and -od modifiers, it
executes the ls, as, cs, vd, vdg, hc, ps, hps, pd, pdg, drg, and drt commands and saves
the output of each command for each array in a separate, CSV-formatted file in the directory you
specify. The naming convention for each file is array name_command name_date and time
stamp.csv
.
For example, enter the following command to store the output of the mof command in the analysis
directory:
mof -csv -od C:\analysis
Using the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter
