When you install the host agent, the real-time server is also automatically installed on the host agent. For
more information on the host agent installation, refer to the HPE XP7 Performance Advisor Software
Installation Guide. You can collect the real-time performance data for LDEVs, RAID Groups, ports, cache,
Pools, Processors, Host Groups in an array. This data is collected for a set of real-time metrics that PA
supports. When you start a real-time performance data collection for an XP or an XP7 disk array, the
following sequence of steps follows:
1. The associated host agent collects real-time performance data from the disk array and sends the data
to PA.
2. PA plots a graph of the real-time performance data points. This process continues until you click
Reset. The real-time also stops if you attempt to perform a new action using the Actions menu, or
navigate to a different screen or when you select a new record from the master pane.
