• Ensure that configuration data collection is complete and performance data collection are in pro-
gress for the XP arrays.
IMPORTANT:
• Your application can be associated with LDEVs that are made available through different hosts
and WWNs.
• Initially, when XP Performance Advisor is first installed, the Existing list does not display any ap-
plication or host entries, as the application to LDEVs association is not yet configured.
• There is no limit on the number of applications that you can associate with hosts and WWNs.
• Applications can be associated with resources belonging to only those XP arrays for which con-
figuration data collection are done through the Inband mode.
• Associating applications with resources belonging to the following legacy XP arrays, XP256,
XP48, and XP512 are not supported, because WWNs of the hosts connected to these XP arrays
are not available.
To start troubleshooting performance issues of resources associated with an application:
1. Click Troubleshooting in the left pane.
The list of XP arrays monitored by XP Performance Advisor are displayed in the Resource selection
tree under Troubleshooting.
