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

NOTE:
If you set the Enable_MP_Optimizations=ON, manually change the affinity set from the Windows
Task Manager (under Processes tab, right click a process and select Set Affinity). After restarting
the management station, both the XP Perf Advisor performance Tomcat and Oracle services get
executed on the processor that is selected manually. This override the property set for multiprocessor
optimization in the serverparameters.properties file. When the management station is
restarted again, the value is read from theserverparameters.properties file, and the services
are run on different processors.
Security under Settings is not displayed when localhost is used
in the http address to log into XP Perf Advisor
The Security link under Settings in the left pane is not displayed when you use localhost in the URL
(http://<localhost>/pa) to access XP Perf Advisor, which is enabled for Native authentication.
This is regardless of logging in as a default administrator or as a user who is granted administrator
privileges.
Workaround: Use the fully qualified domain name ([servername].[domain name]) or the IP address
of the management station in the http URL — http://<fully qualified domain name>/pa
or http://<IP_address>/pa.
Unknown host
If the name of the host cannot be resolved, you get an unknown host error.
Solution: Ensure you do the following:
• The host is up and running
• The host browser side system is able to resolve the host name (ping <hostname>)
If the second option fails, you must set the DNS configuration. To configure, do the following:
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
2. Right click Local Area Connection, select Properties.
3. On the General tab, double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties Window is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
The Advanced TCP/IP Settings window is displayed.
5. On the DNS tab, select Append DNS suffixes.
6. Add host name suffix.
7. Click OK to save the settings.
XPWatch has missing ports
If XP Watch has missing ports, do the following:
1. Verify if all the ports presented through SLPR0 are seen as an output of XPWatch.
