2. Select one of the following based on your requirement and provide the value in the adjacent text
box:
• < (greater than)
• > (less than)

3. Click OK.
The data in the LDEV table is filtered based on the filter criteria and values matching the specified
criteria are displayed.
Exporting LDEV data
You can export LDEV data to an Excel spreadsheet for the date and time range that you specify. The
data for all the LDEVs that were monitored by XP Performance Advisor during the specified start and
end date, and time are exported to a spreadsheet in a CSV format. To export LDEV data:
1. Select the date range from the Start Date and End Date calendars.
2. Select the time range from the respective hour : minutes : seconds lists.
3. Click Export to Excel.
The status on the data transfer is displayed for your reference. After the LDEV data is exported,
the .csv file is placed in the following location on your management station:
Local_drive:\HPSS\Tomcat\Webapps\pa\export. All the .csv files are available in this
specified location (local drive on the management station refers to the C drive, where Windows
operating system is installed, and the HPSS folder is also available on the C drive).
A separate .csv file is created for every export operation. The existing .csv file is not replaced
by the new file. The file format is as follows: LDEV_<Array>_Timestamp. (Timestamp refers to
the date and time when the export operation is initiated).
