HP P6000 manual Filtering data, Specifying data output in multiple files

Filtering data

You can filter the data that is collected for specific items, such as a word or a host port name. For example, enter the following command:

evaperf as -sz array1 array2 -fd test

The output indicates where test appears on array 1 or array 2.

Specifying data output in multiple files

You can generate output for several commands and save the output for each command in a separate file, organized by array. When you run the mof command with the -csvand -odmodifiers, it executes the ls, as, cs, vd, vdg, hc, ps, hps, pd, pdg, drg, and drt commands and saves the output of each command for each array in a separate, CSV-formatted file in the directory you specify. The naming convention for each file is array name_command name_date and time stamp.csv.

For example, enter the following command to store the output of the mof command in the analysis directory:

mof -csv -od C:\analysis

Using the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter

The HP TimeLine Visualizer (TLViz) is a tool to generate graphical representations of performance data. The HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter is a graphical user interface that helps convert the output from HP P6000 Performance Data Collector into a TLViz-compatible format. The formatter is installed as part of the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector software, which is installed through the HP P6000 Command View Software Suite. The formatter includes a Microsoft Access database template. After running the TLViz formatter tool, an option is provided to load the database with the data obtained from HP P6000 Performance Data Collector software.

The HP TLViz tool is available for download at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ t4/index.html.

To format HP P6000 Performance Data Collector data for TLViz:

1.Execute any of the following commands and redirect it to a file:evaperf all -csv-cont <no of sec> -dur <no of sec> -fo <filename> or evaperf hist wwn objecttype starttime endtime [objectid] —csv—fo <filename>

2.Place the command output file, the EVAPerf-TLViz-Format.exeand EVADATA.MDB files in the same directory.

By default, EVAPerf-TLViz-Format.exeand EVADATA.MDB are located in the install directory (C;\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EVA Performance Monitor)

3.Run the EVAPerf-TLVIZ-Format.EXE file. The formatter user interface opens.

4.Select the Evaperf Command output to be formatted from the drop down list.

5.Click Browse to select the corresponding command output file generated by HP P6000 Performance Data Collector.

6.(Optional:) In the TLViz title box, enter a title for the TLViz-formatted files that will be generated.

The formatting of the evaperf vd and evaperf pd output can be disabled by selecting either or both of the check boxes, Disable TLVIZ-VD Output and Disable TLVIZ-PD Output. If one or both of these options are checked, the corresponding TLVIZ files will not be generated.

7.Select Build TLViz files to format the data.

This generates TLViz-formatted output files using the data from the command output file. The output file names begin with TLViz-.
