Filtering data
You can filter the data that is collected for specific items, such as a word or a host port name. For
example, enter the following command:
evaperf as -sz array1 array2 -fd test
The output indicates where
test
appears on array 1 or array 2.
Specifying data output in multiple files
You can generate output for several commands and save the output for each command in a separate
file, organized by array. When you run the
mof
command with the
-csv
and
-od
modifiers, it
executes the
ls
,
as
,
cs
,
vd
,
vdg
,
hc
,
ps
,
hps
,
pd
,
pdg
,
drg
, and
drt
commands and saves
the output of each command for each array in a separate, CSV-formatted file in the directory you
specify. The naming convention for each file is
array name_command name_date and time
stamp.csv
.
For example, enter the following command to store the output of the
mof
command in the
analysis
directory:
mof -csv -od C:\analysis
Using the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter
The HP TimeLine Visualizer (TLViz) is a tool to generate graphical representations of performance
data. The HP P6000 Performance Data Collector TLViz formatter is a graphical user interface that
helps convert the output from HP P6000 Performance Data Collector into a TLViz-compatible format.
The formatter is installed as part of the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector software, which is
installed through the HP P6000 Command View Software Suite. The formatter includes a Microsoft
Access database template. After running the TLViz formatter tool, an option is provided to load
the database with the data obtained from HP P6000 Performance Data Collector software.
The HP TLViz tool is available for download at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/
t4/index.html
.
To format HP P6000 Performance Data Collector data for TLViz:
1.
Execute any of the following commands and redirect it to a file:
evaperf all -csv -cont
<no of sec> -dur <no of sec> -fo <filename>
or
evaperf hist wwn
objecttype starttime endtime [objectid] —csv —fo <filename>
2.
Place the command output file, the
EVAPerf-TLViz-Format.exe
and
EVADATA.MDB
files
in the same directory.
By default,
EVAPerf-TLViz-Format.exe
and
EVADATA.MDB
are located in the install
directory (
C;\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EVA Performance Monitor
)
3.
Run the
EVAPerf-TLVIZ-Format.EXE
file.
The formatter user interface opens.
4.
Select the
Evaperf Command
output to be formatted from the drop down list.
5.
Click
Browse
to select the corresponding command output file generated by HP P6000
Performance Data Collector.
6.
(Optional:) In the TLViz title box, enter a title for the TLViz-formatted files that will be generated.
The formatting of the
evaperf vd
and
evaperf pd
output can be disabled by selecting
either or both of the check boxes,
Disable TLVIZ-VD Output
and
Disable TLVIZ-PD Output
. If
one or both of these options are checked, the corresponding TLVIZ files will not be generated.
7.
Select Build TLViz files to format the data.
This generates TLViz-formatted output files using the data from the command output file. The
output file names begin with
TLViz-
