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

5. Retain the Collection Type as OutBand (default selection), if you want XP Performance Advisor to

directly collect data from an XP array through its SVP. The IP Address is automatically displayed

for an XP array, if you have already registered the SVP with the respective management station.

You can also manually enter the SVP IP address.

Select the Collection Type as Inband, if you want RAID Manager Library (RMLib) to collect

configuration data from an XP array, and transfer to XP Performance Advisor. The Inband mode

of configuration data collection is supported for the XP1024/128, XP10000, XP12000, XP20000,

and XP24000 disk arrays.

IMPORTANT:

Outband is the preferred mode of configuration data collection for an XP Disk Array of type

XP10000, XP12000, XP20000, or XP24000. If the SVP on the XP Disk Array is accessible,

HP recommends that you use the Outband mode of configuration data collection, as XP

Performance Advisor receives the accurate internal raw disk capacity from the XP Disk Array

(same as shown by RWC) through the Outband mode. Collect configuration data through

the Inband mode for an XP Disk Array only if Outband mode of configuration data collection

is not supported on that array.

6. Click Submit.

XP Performance Advisor starts collecting configuration data for the XP array through the selected

command device. The Collection Status displays the message, In progress...please wait for that XP

array. After the configuration data is collected, the Collection Status shows Done. The Last Collection

displays the updated time stamp, when XP Performance Advisor completes receiving the latest

configuration data.

Clicking Reset restores the default settings.
