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

• Name of the consultant who is associated with the customer.

• Location of the XP array for which the report is generated. This information is useful if the XP

array is located in a different site, away from the management station.

Data Collection Email Settings

• A valid destination email address, as specified under Alarm Email Settings.

• An appropriate subject text for the data collection failure notifications. XP Performance Advisor

uses the specified subject text as the default for all the notifications that are dispatched

whenever a performance data collection fails. The default subject line is XP Data Collection

Failed.

• Select the Notify Data Collection Failure check box to receive the data collection failure noti-

fications. By default, XP Performance Advisor does not dispatch data collection failure notific-

ations.

SNMP settings

The purpose of specifying an SNMP community name is to separate emails that belong to a

particular group (community). You can specify only two community names: Public (default) or

Private.

To validate the SNMP server settings, click Test SNMP. If the SNMP server address entered is

valid, the following message is displayed:

Trap dispatched to the SNMP server

If the SNMP server address entered is invalid or the SNMP server is not accessible, the following

message is displayed:

Trap not dispatched. It might be due to invalid IP address or server

name, or the SNMP server is not accessible.

4. Click Save.

A message appears that settings are updated in the serverparameters.properties file.

Click OK to start using XP Performance Advisor. If you click Cancel, the previous specified values

are retained in the in the serverparameters.properties file and also displayed on the

Email Settings screen.

The destination email addresses are also automatically displayed in the Email box and Email

Destination box when you configure alarms or generate reports. By default, administrator@localhost

is considered if you do not specify a different email address. However, if you do specify a new

email address while configuring alarms or creating reports, it is used only with the current set of

records for which it is provided. The new email address does not supersede the existing email

address provided on the Email Settings screen.

NOTE:

Every time the values are updated in the serverparameters.properties file, all the

parameter fields appear in the first half of the file. The comments for all these parameter

fields appear after the fields, at the end of the file.
