For example, if the Stagger Collection check box is not selected, and Frequency is set to 15
minutes, performance data collection occurs every fifteen minutes, irrespective of when the schedule
is created. For example, if the schedule is created at 10.12 a.m., the first collection occurs
immediately and the next collection occurs at the quarter of the hour, which is 10.15 a.m. The
subsequent collections occur at 10.30 a.m., 10.45 a.m., and so on. If you select Stagger Collection,
performance data collection occurs every 15 minutes from the time the schedule is created. For
example, if the schedule is created at 10.12 a.m., the first collection occurs immediately, and the next
collection is 15 minutes later, at 10.27 a.m. The subsequent collections take place every 15 minutes
after that.
The Stagger Collection ensures that the load on the management server is balanced, because the
data collection occurs for all the XP and the XP7 disk arrays at varied points of time in the day and
not for every 15 minutes in an hour.
9. Select the Add new RGs and Ports to the schedules that have RG and Port components
enabled check box if you want to update the new RAID groups or port components that are
discovered during the scheduled performance data collection to the appropriate schedule. The newly
discovered components are added to the appropriate schedule without impacting the other
components included in a performance data collection schedule.
10. Click Create for the changes to take effect.

When the performance data collection is in progress, you can perform the following functions. Allow PA to
complete at least two performance data collection cycles before you proceed with the following tasks.
This is to ensure that sufficient data is available that can be projected on the respective screens:
• View a graphical representation of the performance of components for different metrics and duration
that you specify.
• View the performance summary of components in the Array Summary screen in Summary View.
• Configure alarms on components, so that PA can send appropriate alarm notifications.
• Create custom groups for a set of LDEVs that you want to frequently monitor.
• Create and schedule reports to view the performance data of components for different metrics, and
duration that you specify.
