48 Performance Control Export Tool
CAUTION: When writing the login subcommand in your command file, you must specify a user
ID that should be used exclusively for running the Export Tool. See ”Files to be exported” on
page 32 for reference.
CAUTION: Secure files containing user IDs and password to prevent the information from being
compromised and used for access by unauthorized people.
• show
Checks the SVP to find the period of monitoring data stored in the SVP and data collection interval
(called the gathering interval in Auto LUN XP), and then outputs them to the standard output (for
example, the command prompt) and log file.
Auto LUN XP collects statistics by the two types of storing periods: in short range and in long range. The
show subcommand displays the storing periods and the gathering intervals for these types of
monitoring data.
The following is an example of information that the show subcommand outputs:
Short Range indicates the storing period and gathering interval for monitoring data stored in short
range. Long Range indicates monitoring data stored in long range. In this example, monitoring data
in short range is stored every 1 minute in the term of 1:00-15:00 on Oct.1, 2004. Also, monitoring
data in long range is stored every 15 minutes from Sep.1, 2004, 0:00 through Oct.1, 2004, 15:00.
When running the Export Tool, you can export monitoring data within these periods into files.
All monitoring items are stored in short range, but part of the monitoring items is stored in the short
range and long range. For details on monitoring items that can be stored in long range, see ”The
longrange subcommand” on page 69.
Using the show subcommand is not mandatory, but HP recommends you include the show
subcommand in your command file. If an error occurs when running the Export Tool, you might be able
to find the error cause by checking the log file for information issued by the show subcommand. For
detailed information, see ”The show subcommand” on page 57.
• group PhyPG Long and group RemoteCopy
Specifies the type of data you want to export. Specify an operand following group to define the type
of data to be exported. Basically, monitoring data stored in short range is exported, but you can export
monitoring data stored in long range when specifying some of the operands.
The group PhyPG Long subcommand in Figure 18 specifies to export usage statistics about parity
groups in long range. Also, the group RemoteCopy subcommand specifies to export statistics about
remote copy operations by Continuous Access XP and TrueCopy for z/OS in short range. You can
specify multiple lines of the group subcommand to export multiple monitoring items at the same time.
For detailed information, see ”The group subcommand” on page 58.
• shortrange 200410010850:200410010910, and
longrange 200409301430:200410011430, and
remotecopyrange 200409301430:200410011430
The shortrange and longrange subcommands specify the monitoring data term to be exported.
Use these subcommands to narrow the export-target term within the stored data. You can specify both
the shortrange and longrange subcommands at the same time. The difference between these
subcommands is as follows:
•The shortrange subcommand is valid for monitoring data in short range. You can use this
subcommand to narrow the export-target term for all the monitoring items you can specify by the
group subcommand.
Short Range From: 2004/10/01 01:00 - To: 2004/10/01 15:00Interval : 1min
Long Range From: 2004/09/01 00:00 - To: 2004/10/01 15:00Interval : 15min
Remote Copy From: 2004/09/30 00:00 - To: 2004/10/01 15:00
