Editing the port number of HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instances
IMPORTANT:
•
If the specified new port number though valid is not available for communication, the existing
port number is retained for the selected HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instance. Also,
if you want to modify the IP address or server name of an existing HP P6000 Performance
Data Collector instance, you must add another record specifying the new IP address or server
name. You can only modify the port number for an existing instance of HP P6000 Performance
Data Collector instance.
•
Multiple HP P6000 Performance Data Collector records cannot be edited at a time.
Procedure
To edit the port number of a HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instance in HP P6000
Performance Advisor:
1.
Follow the first four steps in “Viewing configured HP P6000 Performance Data Collector
instances” (page 71) to access the Performance Data Collector Settings tab.
2. In the table, select the check box for the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector record
associated with the port number that you want to modify.
3. Click Edit.
The Edit P6000 Performance Data Collector Settings window displays the server name or IP
address of the selected HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instance as read-only data.
4. Enter a new port number.
Ensure that the port number you specify is the same as that used by the HP P6000 Performance
Data Collector instance. For more information, see the HP P6000 Command View User Guide.
5. Click OK.
HP P6000 Performance Advisor validates the new port number and tries to establish connection
with the selected HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instance. Based on the success or failure
of the connection, the appropriate status is displayed under the Connection Status column. For
more information, see
“Viewing configured HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instances”

Removing configured HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instances
CAUTION: If you remove the only HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instance that collects
performance data for storage systems, the data collection will pause unless you configure another
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instance to start collecting data. If multiple HP P6000
Performance Data Collector instances are connected to a storage system and the HP P6000
Performance Data Collector instance is one among them, there might be a gap in performance
data collection for the duration until HP P6000 Performance Advisor switches to another instance
to collect performance data.
HP recommends removing unused HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instances, to improve
response time of HP P6000 Performance Advisor operations.
Procedure
To remove HP P6000 Performance Data Collector instances:
1.
Follow the first four steps in “Viewing configured HP P6000 Performance Data Collector
instances” (page 71) to access the Performance Data Collector Settings tab.
