46 Performance Control Export Tool

If you use the Export Tool only to save monitoring data to files, do not assign any permission to the

user ID for use with the Export Tool. If a user ID having permission is used with the Export Tool, the

array configuration might be changed in an unfavorable way by an unidentified user.

If you use the Export Tool to save monitoring data, start or stop monitoring, and change the

gathering interval with the set subcommand, the user ID must have at least one of the permissions

for Auto LUN XP, Continuous Access XP, TrueCopy for z/OS, Continuous Access XP Journal, and

Universal Replicator for z/OS.

• User types

You can specify any user type for the user ID for use with the Export Tool.

If you specify storage administrator for the user ID, all the monitoring data described from

Table 3 to Table 18 can be saved into files.

If you specify storage partition administrator for the user ID, the monitoring data that

can be saved and the Export Tool functions are limited. For more information, see ”Limitations of the

Export Tool” on page 82.

For more information about creating user IDs, see the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and

Security Manager XP user guide for the specific array. For more information about Performance Control

XP, see ”Performance Control XP” on page 11.
