Table 7 HP P6000 Performance Data Collector command modifiers (continued)

Modifier

Description

-nots

Specifies that a time stamp not be included in the CSV output.

-od

Specifies the directory in which the output files from the mof command are saved.

-szarray [array]*

Limits array data collection to the specified arrays. You must enter at least one array and

 

you can use this modifier with any command. When specifying arrays, you can use

 

either the array's WWN or friendly name. For example, if you enter evaperf as -sz

 

server1 server3, data is displayed for arrays server1 and server3 only. If you do

 

not include this modifier, data is collected from all arrays visible to the host.

-tlc

Displays TLC-compliant data for the mof command.

-tsv

Displays output in tab-separated variable (TSV) format with a time stamp.

–ts1

Adds a time stamp to the -csvoutput in the following format: Fri Jul 23 16:23:05

 

2004.

-ts2

Adds a time stamp to the -csvoutput in the following format: 23/Jul/2004 16:23:05

 

2004. This is the default format.

-us

Display times in microseconds (the default is milliseconds). Latencies are displayed in

 

milliseconds (ms) by default. Use the -usoption to show times in microseconds for more

 

accuracy.

 

The -usmodifier does not affect the following commands:

 

vdrl

 

vdrlg

 

vdwl

 

vdwlg

Using the graphical user interface

This section describes how to display and manage array performance metrics using the graphical user interface, Windows Performance Monitor, and assumes that you are familiar with the tool.

Windows Performance Monitor does not permit more than one hierarchical object level. Therefore, objects, such as virtual disks, are grouped as a single list of instances, even though they may be located on different arrays. The instance name indicates the array on which the virtual disk is located.

Remote performance monitoring with Windows Performance Monitor is not supported.

The binary logging feature of Windows Performance Monitor is limited in the number of HP array performance objects it can log simultaneously. Logging works most reliably when you log small numbers and instances of counters. When the number of counters and instances logged is too large, nothing is saved in the binary log file.

To display array performance metrics:
