Two schedules

and Schedule 2)
Start performance data collection in case of a disk failure
The performance data collection might stop on all the XP and the XP7 disk arrays connected to a host, if
the command device used belongs to an array group where a disk failure occurred. To restart
performance data collection:
Procedure
1. Under the Host Information pane, select the host (on which performance data collection has stopped)
and click Request Info. The status for the selected host changes to Received after the information is
collected from the host.
2. Under the Config and Performance Collection table, delete and recreate the performance schedules
with a new name for the selected host. The schedule is enabled automatically and the performance
data collection begins. The previous collection data is still retained.
View performance data collection schedules
After creating a schedule, click the View Perf . The list of selected components, respective data collection
frequencies, and the command device chosen for data collection are displayed. In addition, the port type,
such as FCoE (applicable only for P9500/XP7 disk arrays) is also displayed for a port.
NOTE: The View Perf button is enabled only when you select an array record in the Config and
Performance Collection table.
Edit performance data collection schedules
You can add or remove components from an existing performance data collection schedule, and edit the
frequency of data collection. When you edit a performance data collection schedule, you might notice

Start performance data collection in case of a disk failure
Automatic updates
Enabled Schedule 1 for
automatic updates.
Both Schedule 1 or
Schedule 2 are disabled to
receive automatic updates.
What happens...
The newly discovered RAID Groups and ports are
automatically appended to the existing list for
which Schedule 1 is in progress. The performance
data collection continues for the new components
also. The newly discovered RAID Group and port
components that are not selected in any
performance data collection schedule are added to
the appropriate schedule.
Schedule 2 is automatically disabled for automatic
updates, as Schedule 1 is already enabled to
receive automatic updates.
Hence, you must edit the schedule manually to
add or remove components from Schedule 2.
However, if Schedule 1 is not enabled for
automatic updates, you can still enable Schedule 2
to receive automatic updates.
The newly discovered RAID Groups and ports are
neither added to Schedule 1 or Schedule 2.
Hence, you must edit the schedules manually to
add or remove components in the existing list.
