Create/Edit Recurring Configuration Data Collection - HPE XP7 User Manual

Alternatively, click an XP or an XP7 disk array icon displayed above the Configuration Collection tab to
view the corresponding set of records highlighted in the Configuration Collection table. The existing set
of records are automatically sorted to display the command devices that belong to the selected XP or
XP7 disk array at the beginning of the Configuration Collection table.
4. Click Create Config.
5. Retain the Collection Period as One Time (default selection).
6. Based on the disk array that you selected, following are the further course of steps:
For an XP disk array
Manually enter the SVP IP address in the SVP IP Address text box and proceed to next step to
initiate the configuration data collection.
If you have already registered the SVP of the selected XP disk array with the respective management
station, the corresponding SVP IP address is displayed in the SVP IP Address text box.
For an XP7 disk array
• The corresponding SVP IP address and RWC user name and password are stored in the
respective text boxes, if you already saved these credentials in PA for the selected XP7 disk array.
◦ If you have privileges to read the disk array configuration (minimum required - Storage Admin
role with View privilege), select the Authentication Enabled check box, and then proceed to next
step to initiate the configuration collection. This authentication is required to collect configuration
data of the disk array. Before enabling authentication, ensure that you first save the credentials
using the Register/Save SVP Credentials link in the Collections screen. Alternatively,
navigate to PA Settings > Register/Save SVP Credentials to save the data.
◦ If you do not want to enable the authentication, proceed to next step to initiate the configuration
collection. If the SVP IP address is not saved earlier, you can manually enter the SVP IP
address.
If authentication is required and you do not enable it, the configuration data collection will fail.
7. Click Submit.
PA starts collecting the configuration data for the array through the selected command device. The
collection status in the Config Collection table displays as a white circle indicating the collection is in
progress. Place your device point over Status, and you can see the status as Collection in Progress.
After the configuration data is collected, the collection status icon displays a green circle indicating the
collection was successful. The Timestamp column displays the updated time stamp when PA completes
receiving the latest configuration data.
Click Refresh to restore the default settings.
