Set Threshold Limits For Xp And Xp7 Disk Arrays - HPE XP7 User Manual

The threshold duration is considered for all those categories, for which the threshold limits are set. It is
not applicable individually for the Frontend, Cache, Backend, or the MP Blade category. For
example, a threshold duration of 6 hours for a P9500 Disk Array is considered by HPE XP7
Performance Advisor to monitor the usage of components in those categories whose corresponding
threshold limits are set.
NOTE:
• By default, the duration is set to 6 hrs in the Threshold Setting screen.
• Ensure that both the host agents and the management station is in sync.
• Ensure that the system clock time on both the host agents and management station is in
sync.
4. Click Save.
NOTE: For the selected threshold duration, PA does the following:
1. Collects the point in time and the average usage values of the individual components for the
corresponding metrics.
2. Verifies the values for a component with the respective threshold values.
3. Displays the appropriate status icons in the Frontend, Cache, Backend, or the Processors
category (applicable for P9500/XP7 disk arrays), and Continuous Access on the Dashboard
screen. Click a status icon to view the average usage summary of individual components in that
category. If the threshold limits are not set for a particular category, PA does not verify the usage
summary of components in that category and displays the (Unknown) status icon on the
Dashboard screen for that category. To view the overall usage status of the XP, XP7 disk arrays,
and the average usage summary of array components, specify the threshold limit for at least one
metric in the respective category.
The changes you make on the Threshold Settings screen are immediately reflected on the
Dashboard screen. By default, PA retrieves data for the past six hours from the time you saved the
threshold settings. It considers the management station time to calculate the threshold duration. For
example, if the threshold duration is 6 hrs and the current time on your management station is 5:00
PM, PA considers the usage summary of components for the past six hours (11:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
to display the overall usage status for the arrays in the Overview Dashboard screen.
