• Real-time charts and historical charts cannot be plotted simultaneously, as the plotting of
real-time data stops when the plotting of historical data is in progress.
In such a case, the following error message appears on the Charts screen:
The selected component may no longer be connected to the array or does not have any activity
happening currently. Please verify if the selected component is currently active. If you see that
the selected component is active, then please try recreating the device files as the device file
may not be accessible by RealTimeServer.
When historical data is plotted, ensure that the real-time data charting is not started.
Current Status—Fix is being investigated, no ETA as of P9000 Performance Advisor v6.0
release date.
