3. Write the command device settings into the perf_cmddev.properties file.
To write the settings into the file, execute the perf_findcmddev command or edit the file
directly. For details about the settings in the file, see “Settings in the perf_cmddev.properties
file” on page 149. For details about the perf_findcmddev command, see “Format of the
perf_findcmddev command” on page 151.
CAUTION:
• If you are using the Device Manager agent version 6.3 or earlier and you want to use
a storage system in an SLPR environment, directly edit the perf_cmddev.properties
file to define command devices for SLPRs.
• If you upgrade the Device Manager agent from version 6.3 or earlier to version 6.4 or
later, the settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file remain unchanged. If you
are using a storage system in an SLPR environment, after the upgrade installation finishes,
refresh the information of SLPR command devices defined in the perf_cmddev.prop-
erties file.
Preparations in the Device Manager server
For the Device Manager server property, specify the name of the host that acquires performance
information.
Specify the name of the host on which the Device Manager agent is installed by directly editing the
server.cim.agent property in the server.properties file on the Device Manager server.
After the property is set, restart the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the host name specified for the server.cim.agent property matches the host name
registered in Device Manager for the host that acquires performance information. If these host names
are different, you cannot acquire performance information.
Settings in the perf_cmddev.properties file
Edit the perf_cmddev.properties file to define the command device of the target storage system.
The perf_cmddev.properties file is stored in the following location:
In Windows:
installation-folder-for-the-Device-Manager-agent\mod\hdvm\config\
perf_cmddev.properties
In Linux:
/opt/HDVM/HBaseAgent/mod/hdvm/config/perf_cmddev.properties
Use the following format to define the command device in the perf_cmddev.properties file.
Define one command device per line.
