Notes
• While creating performance data collection schedules in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
v5.5.1, you cannot split the components selected from the DKC, Port, and RG component type
lists into two schedules. If you upgrade to HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor v5.5.1, you can
use the performance data collection schedules created in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor
v5.5 by splitting the components. However, you cannot edit and save such schedules. HP
recommends that you delete split schedules and recreate schedules with similar component
types. If you save split schedules after modifications, the component types that are split are
removed and the remaining component types are saved in the schedule.
• In P9000 Performance Advisor Array View - CA screen, if the CA configurations have mirror
IDs other than 0, the CA Journal volumes are not identified and displayed on the screen.
Current Status: no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v5.5.1 release date.
• Incorrect data is read from the snapshots taken using the FastSnap feature in the HP XP P9500
disk arrays with firmware versions 70-05-02-00/00 to 70-05-14-00/00.
Workaround: The HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor software supports the FastSnap feature
on the disk arrays with firmware version 70-05-15-00/00 or later. If an earlier version of the
firmware is installed, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor might display incorrect values.
• HP recommends that you use Adobe Flash Player v10.1.85.3 or later for HP XP P9000

in the HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor installation disk 2.
• The CurIO and CurKB performance metrics are removed from HP XP P9000Watch, as the
values of these metrics were not consistent with other metrics, such as MaxIO, MinIo, AvgIo,
and AvgKb. The time interval of the CurIO and CurKB metrics did not align to the time interval
of the other metrics.
