HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v6.0 Release Notes

• When a manual purge or data archival process is active, occasionally, you might notice that
the management station overlooks data samples received from the host agents.
The purging may take hours to complete based on the database size. HP recommends that
you stop the performance collection before starting the purge to overcome missing data points
during purge.
Current Status—This will be fixed in the subsequent release.
• 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 v6.0
release date.
• While charting backend transfer metrics for DKAs or ACPs with concatenated RAID groups,
you might observe that the total write tracks do not match the sum of the individual DKA or
ACP metrics.
Current Status—This will be fixed in the subsequent release.
