What happens...Automatic updatesScenarios
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are
automatically appended to the existing list for which
performance data collection is scheduled. The performance
data collection continues for the new resources also.
Enabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates.
One schedule cre-
ated (Schedule 1)
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are not
appended to the existing list of RAID groups and ports. You
have to modify the performance data collection schedule
later to add or remove resources from Schedule 1.
Disabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates.
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are
automatically appended to the existing list for which Schedule
1 is in progress. The performance data collection continues
for the new resources also.
Schedule 2 is automatically disabled for automatic updates,
as Schedule 1 is already enabled to receive automatic
updates.
Hence, you must edit the schedule manually to add or remove
resources from Schedule 2. However, if Schedule 1 is not
enabled for automatic updates, you can still enable Schedule
2 to receive automatic updates.
Enabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates.
Two schedules cre-
ated (Schedule 1
and Schedule 2)
The newly discovered RAID groups and ports are neither
added to Schedule 1 or Schedule 2. Hence, you must edit
the schedules manually to add or remove resources in the
existing list.
Both Schedule 1 or
Schedule 2 are disabled
to receive automatic
updates.
Two schedules cre-
ated (Schedule 1
and Schedule 2)
Example use cases
Scenario 1
While creating a performance data collection schedule:
1. RAID groups and ports are not selected from the respective resource type lists.
2. Instead, THP, Snapshot, XP Continuous Access Journal volumes, or External RAID groups are se-
lected from the respective resource type lists.
3. The Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected.
After the settings are saved, the following changes occur:
• Only the newly discovered RAID groups and ports are automatically added to this performance
data collection schedule, as the Add new RAID Groups, Ports to this schedule check box is selected.
• New virtual volumes are also automatically added to this schedule, as it is already collecting
performance data for virtual volumes.
• The RAID groups and ports that were not selected from the respective resource type lists are
automatically added to the second schedule when it is created. If a second schedule is not created,
the existing list of RAID groups and ports are still available for selection in the first schedule. You
must modify the first schedule if you want to add these resources to the existing list. For more in-
formation on editing a performance data collection schedule, see “Editing frequency of performance
data collection” on page 59.
