HP XP7 PA Software User Guide

IMPORTANT:
• The port type, such as FCoE (applicable for P9500/XP7 disk arrays) is also
displayed beside the port ID.
• Since, the CHIP/CHA and the ACP/DKA MPs are moved to the MP blades in the P9500
and XP7 disk arrays, their MP utilization metrics are not applicable for the P9500 and XP7
disk arrays. For more information, see “Viewing MP blade utilization for P9500/XP7 disk
arrays” (page 193).
Viewing summary of an individual CHIP/CHA
Click an individual CHIP/CHA in either the CHA summary table or the CHIP/CHA summary table
to view its data. You can also do the following:
• Select an individual CHIP/CHA under the CHIP component node for an XP disk array
• Select an individual CHA under the CHA/DKA component node for an P9500/XP7 disk array
The following table describes the data for an individual CHIP/CHA. The Yes and No given under
For XP disk arrays and For P9500/XP7 disk arrays columns indicate whether that particular
information or metric is displayed for the XP/P9500/XP7 disk array.
