HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.4 Release Notes (T1789-96331, April 2012)

Fixes
P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4 includes the following fixes:
• The Chart screen displays legends when saving the Favorite chart as “Save as PDF ”.
• CHP MP Utilization Charts does not display a blank chart for XP20K.
• CLUI Alarmhist command displays the output and it does not display an error in the command
window.
• RG Utilization chart works when you attempt to plot the chart for concatenated RG's under THP
Pool -> RG -> RG.
• License tab works and does not display any error messages even if the license expires or is violated,
and the license capacity value is greater than 99TB.
• Java null pointer errors are resolved and are not logged in the Event log when creating, modifying
or deleting the Alarms.
• When you attempt to modify or delete the CHIP MP util metric alarms created in v5.0 to v5.3
versions of P9000 Performance Advisor, the committed change does not fail.
• Array View screen displays correct internal raw disk capacity when configuration data is collected
through the Outband mode for a XP12000 disk array.
• Cache Usage and Cache Write Pending metrics are displayed appropriately.
• In P9000 Performance Advisor and P9000Watch, RG Utilization metrics are displayed appropri-
ately for P9500 array from 70-03-34-00/00 or later firmware.
• The RG summary, Backend IO and Export DB screens display only RGs, as non-RGs, such as THPs,
SNAPs are removed from these screens.
THP related information which was displayed in the RG summary screen is now available only in
the LDEV screen.
Notes
• P9000Watch and CLUI are not supported on an OpenVMS Integrity Server (IA-64) host.
Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4 release
date.
• The Show the Windows Installer Log check box is non-functional.
Workaround: To view the PA_Install.log file, go to <system_drive>:\P9000_PA_In-
stall_Log path, where <system_drive> refers to the drive on which the operating system is in-
stalled.
Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4 release
date.
• The Journal Group Detail View screen does not display data when you click a journal group
volume ID that is created from concatenated RAID groups.
Workaround: In the Array View - LDEV screen, filter the existing list of LDEV records for a particular
journal pool ID to view LDEVs that belong to that particular journal pool. The LDEV related perform-
ance metrics are also displayed.
Current Status: This will be fixed in the subsequent release.
• The following Cache related metrics are not displayed for selection in the Choose Metrics box
when you select the Cache node for an XP1024/128 Disk Array under Charts:
• Cache Usage MB
• Cache Usage Util
