HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.4.1 Release Notes (T1789-96345, October 2012)

• For XP/P9500 disk arrays with concatenated parity groups, you might notice 4D+4D RAID
type instead of two 2D+2D concatenated parity groups in the Performance Estimator screen.
Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4.1
release date.
• While charting backend transfer metrics for DKCs or ACPs with concatenated RAID groups,
you might observe that the total write tracks do not match the sum of the individual DKC or
ACP metrics.
Current Status: This will be fixed in the subsequent release.
• An error log is displayed on the console of the AIX host agent in the following conditions:
P9000Watch is active on Advanced Interactive eXecutive (AIX) v6.1.◦
◦ Multi-pathing (MPIO) is enabled on the AIX host agent.
◦ Parameters, dyntrk is set to yes and fc_error is set to fast_fail.
The error log is also displayed when you run the errpt –a command from the Kernel of the
AIX operating system. The following is an excerpt from the error log:
LABEL: FSCSI_ERR10IDENTIFIER: 1FB4FD21Date/Time: Mon Aug 10 15:03:51 CDT

You can ignore the error log, as it does not impact the P9000Watch activities or the output
it provides.
Current Status: Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.4.1
release date.
• When the response time from an XP or a P9000 (P9500) disk array is high (for example,
around 3700 read I/Os with each taking close to 10 milliseconds), use a shorter performance
data collection frequency (around 2 minutes) in P9000 Performance Advisor or use
P9000Watch.
