Performance Control XP user guide 73
Overwrites existing files and directories.
Example
The following example saves monitoring data in CSV files, not in ZIP files:
The apply subcommand
Syntax
apply
Description
The apply subcommand saves monitoring data specified by the group subcommand into files.
The login subcommand must execute before the apply subcommand executes.
The apply subcommand does nothing if the group subcommand executes.
Settings made by the group subcommand are reset when the apply subcommand finishes.
The set subcommand
Syntax
setΔ[switch={m|off}]
Description
The set subcommand starts or ends monitoring the array (that is, starts or ends collecting performance
statistics). The set subcommand also specifies the gathering interval (interval of collecting statistics) in
short range monitoring.
To use the set subcommand, you must use the login subcommand (see ”The login subcommand” on
page 57) to log onto the SVP. Ensure that the set subcommand executes immediately before the Export
Tool finishes.
Executing the set subcommand generates an error in the following conditions:
• Some other user is being logged onto the SVP in Modify mode
• Maintenance operations are being performed at the SVP
If an error occurs, do the following:
• Ensure that all users logged onto the SVP are not in Modify mode. If any user is logged on in Modify
mode, ask the user to switch to View mode.
• Wait until maintenance operations finish at the SVP, so the set subcommand can execute.
NOTE:
• The batch files can include script that execute when an error occurs. For information about writing such
a script in the batch file, see ”Notes” on page 51.
• When the set subcommand starts or ends the monitoring or changes the gathering interval after the
Auto LUN XP pane is started, the contents displayed in the Auto LUN XP pane does not automatically
change with the set subcommand operation. To display the current monitoring status in the Auto LUN
XP pane, click the Refresh button.
Operands
switch={m|off}
To start monitoring, specify the gathering interval (interval of collecting statistics) of monitoring data at
m. Specify a value between 1 and 15 minutes. m is the gathering interval in short range monitoring by
Auto LUN XP. Note that the gathering interval in long range is fixed to 15 minutes.
