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

Importing data
You can import the archived data to another management station or back to the same management
station from where the data was initially exported.
CAUTION:
• The import operation fails if there is not enough free space in the database to accommodate the
imported data. To start an import operation, XP Performance Advisor requires that there be sufficient
space in the database, at least matching the size of the exported data. You must either archive
or purge some of the existing data before you begin the import operation.
• If you are importing data when auto purge is in progress, the data import activity still continues.
However, if the imported data happens to be among the oldest data that XP Performance Advisor
has selected for purging, the data being imported is also purged automatically. Hence, it is highly
recommended that there be enough disk space available on that management station, where the
data import activity is initiated.
• Do not move the .dmp files from <HPSS_HOME>\padb\admin\PADB\dpdump\ or copy the
.dmp files to any other location, because XP Performance Advisor accesses these files only from
<HPSS_HOME>\padb\admin\PADB\dpdump\ on your management station.
