Delete configuration data collection schedules

Procedure
1. From the main menu, click Collections.
2. Click the Config and Performance Collection table.
3. Select the command device record corresponding to the XP/XP7 disk array for which you want to
delete the configuration data schedule.
4. Click Delete Schedule.
When a configuration data collection schedule is deleted, PA stops the collection from the subsequent
scheduled collection cycle and then deletes the schedule. However, the current collection stops only after
the latest configuration data is collected or when the scheduler time resets to 60 minutes. For example, if
you scheduled a configuration data collection for two hours at 10:00 AM and stopped the schedule at
10:30 AM, PA still continues with the configuration collection that was initiated at 10:00 AM. However,
after the current collection completes or the scheduler time resets to 60 minutes, PA does not initiate a
new configuration data collection.

About performance data collections

After you complete collecting the configuration details for an array, check if the Config Collection Status
for that array is complete. The status changes to green icon upon completion, and the status icon
displays as Collection Success or Failed when you hover over the status icon. You can also check the
status of the action from the Event Log.
After the configuration collection is complete, you must select the array record again, and schedule the
performance collection for the associated components, which belong to the following component types:
• DKC
• Ports
• RAID Groups
• Ext RAID Groups
• THP pools
• Snapshot pools
• Cont. Access Journals
You can create two performance data collection schedules for an array, as it enables you to frequently
monitor the respective components. The components that are not selected as part of the first schedule
are automatically added to the second schedule. You can set different collection frequencies to collect
data for the DKC, ports, and the RAID Groups. You can also enable the schedules for automatic updates.
The collection frequency set for a RAID Group in a schedule is applicable for any component of the
continuous access journal, snapshot, ThP, and the external RAID Group types. It is applicable only if they
are selected for performance data collection.
The following are important notes on the performance data collection:
• The performance data collection does not start when the configuration data collection is in progress. It
starts automatically when the configuration data collection completes. If you set the frequency of the
configuration data collection schedule as one hour, then after every hour, the performance data
collection stops and restarts only when the configuration data collection completes. On successful
