HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96094, June 2010)
IMPORTANT:
• The maximum threshold that you can set is 999999.
• The Level 3 threshold value specified should be greater than the Level 2 threshold value, and the
Level 2 threshold value should be greater than the Level 1 threshold value.
• Edit is enabled only when you select the check boxes for resource records, for which you want to
specify threshold and dispatch at threshold levels.
NOTE:
You can also use the Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v combination to copy and paste alarm settings from one
record to another record. Ensure that the check boxes for these records are selected, so that the latest
changes are updated when you click Edit.
To set the threshold and dispatch levels:
1. Click Alarms in the left pane.
2. Under the Alarm Configuration tab, select the check boxes for the resource records, for which
you want to specify the threshold and dispatch at threshold levels.
You can also filter resource records in the Alarms table. For more information, see “Filtering
records in Alarms table” on page 123.
3. Provide the threshold levels in the text boxes under Level - 1, Level - 2, and Level - 3. By default,
threshold levels are not defined for new resource records.
4. In the text box under Dispatch Level, specify the threshold level beyond which XP Performance
Advisor should trigger an alarm and dispatch notifications.
• The value 1 in the text box under Dispatch Level corresponds to Level - 1.
• The value 2 in the text box under Dispatch Level corresponds to Level - 2.
• The value 3 in the text box under Dispatch Level corresponds to Level - 3.
If you specify 1 as the Dispatch Level, it implies the following in the order specified, only after
an alarm is enabled on the resource:
1. XP Performance Advisor generates an alarm when the current performance value of a resource
crosses the threshold value mentioned in the text box under Level - 1.
2. XP Performance Advisor dispatches a notification to the intended recipient as per the notific-
ation settings configured for the alarm. For more information on configuring alarm notifica-
tions, see “Configuring alarm notifications” on page 127.
5. Click Edit when you complete providing the threshold and dispatch levels for all the selected
resource records. The changes are updated in the XP Performance Advisor database. The new
threshold and dispatch levels are displayed under Level - 1, Level - 2, Level - 3, and Dispatch
Level respectively.
Alternatively, you can also copy the threshold and dispatch levels from an existing record and
apply it across multiple other records. For more information, see “Applying a
template” on page 131.
