HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 User and Troubleshooting Guide (T1789-96094, June 2010)

3. Displays the time of dispatch under Time Dispatched
4. Monitors the resource till its performance value drops below the set threshold value
5. Updates the time of monitoring under Time Updated
IMPORTANT:
The time shown under Time Updated is in sync with the data collection cycle frequency.
If the performance value of a resource drops below the set threshold value, XP Performance Advisor
does the following:
1. Posts a new record and displays the time of posting under Time Posted
2. Dispatches an alarm notification of type, XP Alarm – Good Information alarm to the intended
recipient
3. Displays the time of dispatch under Time Dispatched
4. Monitors the resource continuously to verify whether its performance is within or beyond the set
threshold level
This process continues till the alarm is disabled on the resource or the resource record is removed. If
the alarm is disabled or removed, XP Performance Advisor posts a new record and displays the
following: Close under Level, 0 under Value, and Not Defined under Level - 1, Level - 2, and Level -
3 threshold levels. In addition to sending notifications, XP Performance Advisor also executes a script
or batch file to perform add-on tasks, if it is already configured for the selected resource. For more
information, see “Establishing scripts for alarms” on page 129. You can also view a graphical
representation of the performance of a resource by clicking the link provided for its performance value
under Value. For more information, see “Viewing graph of metric value's performance” on page 143.
