15 Launching XP Application Performance

Extender from XP Performance Advisor

You can launch XP Application Performance Extender from XP Performance Advisor GUI. XP Application

Performance Extender is a software that enables you to monitor, analyze, and prioritize the performance

of critical applications running on XP20000 or XP24000 disk arrays. XP disk array resources can be

prioritized by application and time, so high-priority host traffic experiences the best performance

always. XP Application Performance Extender is supported on HP-UX, Windows, and Linux hosts

connected to XP disk arrays.

Before launching XP Application Performance Extender from XP Performance Advisor, enter the IP

address or DNS name of the management station where XP Application Performance Extender is

installed, in the AppIntegrations.properties file.

APP1_SERVER = <IP address> or <DNS name> of the XP Application Performance Extender

management station

The AppIntegrations.properties file is located in the <Installation_drive>:hpss/pa/

properties folder on the management station where XP Performance Advisor is installed.

IMPORTANT:

• Ensure that the AppIntegrations.properties file name is not modified, as XP Performance

Advisor refers to this file for the XP Application Performance Extender management station address

every time it launches XP Application Performance Extender.

• By default, the XP Application Performance Extender tomcat service uses port 8080 for its commu-

nication with XP Performance Advisor. If you want to use a different port number, refer to the

StorageWorks XP Application Performance Extender Software User Guide

to verify whether XP

Application Performance Extender supports the port number you want to use.

• Do not modify the default values specified for the other parameters in the AppIntegra-

tions.properties file.

To launch XP Application Performance Extender:

1. Click HP XP APEX in the left pane on the Dashboard screen.
