HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 Install Guide (T1789-96096, July 2010)

7. Select the check box for Stagger Schedule if you want to stagger the data collection time at
different intervals.
The Stagger Schedule ensures that the load on the management server at any point is balanced,
because data collection occurs for all XP disk arrays at varied points of time in the day and not
every 15 minutes of the hour.
8. Select the Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box, if you want the performance
data collection schedule to automatically collect performance data for the new RAID groups or
ports that are discovered during scheduled configuration data collection. If the Add new RAID
Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected in the first schedule, it is automatically disabled
in the second schedule.
However, the new THP, Snapshot, XP Continuous Access Journal volumes, and External RAID
groups are automatically added to only that performance data collection schedule, which is
already collecting data for other virtual volumes belonging to the same XP Disk Array.
9. Click Save for the changes to take effect.
Click Cancel, if you do not want to configure a schedule for the current selection.
