Verify the XP Performance Advisor functionality for historic data
Verify the XP Performance Advisor functionality for historic data by plotting charts, and see if you are
able to view the previous set of collections. To plot the performance graphs:

Advisor” on page 66.

The DKC or model numbers of individual XP disk arrays monitored by XP Performance Advisor
are displayed.
If you created any custom groups while using the previous version of XP Performance Advisor,
they are also displayed under Charts.
3. Click the + sign for an XP Disk Array and select the resources for which you want to view the
performance graphs. You can also select the LDEVs from a custom group.
