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

To configure data collection on a Windows system, see “Appendix C” on page 345.
Tasks you can perform under the Configuration Collection tab
• “Collecting configuration data” on page 45
• “Scheduling configuration data collection” on page 46
One-time configuration data collection
Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you start configuration data collection for an
XP array. These prerequisites are common for both one-time and scheduled configuration data
collections:
• Start configuration data collection for an XP array, only when the command device is created on
that XP array. For more information on creating command devices, refer to the HP StorageWorks
XP Performance Advisor Software Installation Guide.
• If multiple SLPRs are configured in an XP array, select the command device that is associated with
SLPR0. However, if you select the command device associated with SLPR1 or SLPR2, the configur-
ation information associated with SLPR0 cannot be accessed due to security implementations.
To perform a one-time configuration data collection:
1. Click Array View in the left pane.
The Array View screen appears.
2. Click the Configuration Collection tab. The Configuration Collection table displays the list of
command device records for all the XP arrays that are monitored by XP Performance Advisor.
3. Select the command device record corresponding to the XP array for which configuration data
should be collected.
Alternatively, you can also click an XP array icon in the Available Arrays section to view the
corresponding set of records highlighted under the Configuration Collection tab. The existing set
of records are automatically sorted to display the command devices belonging to the selected
XP array at the beginning of the Configuration Collection table.
4. Retain the Collection Period as One Time (default selection).
