Description
The HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software (XP Performance Advisor) collects, monitors,
and displays the performance data of your HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array. XP Performance Advisor
collects in-depth performance data so that you can monitor the performance at the level of components
such as Logical Device (LDEV), Client-Host Interface Processor (CHIP) or Channel Adapter (CHA),
Array Control Processor (ACP) or Disk Adapter (DKA), and Disk Controller (DKC). XP Performance
Advisor includes XPWatch, a real-time troubleshooting tool that helps you identify the root cause of
performance issues.
