XP Performance Control Export Tool

Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE)
To be able to use the Export Tool, you XP must install Java Runtime Environment on your Windows or

UNIX computer. If your computer runs Command View Advanced Edition or Remote Web Console

software, JRE is already installed on your computer and you can install the Export Tool. If your

computer does not run XP Command View Advanced Edition or Remote Web Console software but

contains an appropriate version of JRE, you can install the Export Tool on your computer.

NOTE:

The JRE version required for running the Export Tool is the same as the JRE version

required for running XP Command View Advanced Edition or Remote Web Console software. For

detailed information about the JRE version required for running XP Command View Advanced

Edition or Remote Web Console software, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View

Advanced Edition software Device Manager user guide or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web

Console user guide for the specific arrays.

A user ID exclusively for use with the Export Tool
To use the Export Tool, you must create a user ID that will be used exclusively with the Export Tool.

When you create the user ID, note the following:
• Permissions for local array programs

If you use the Export Tool only to save monitoring data to files, do not assign any permission to the

user ID for use with the Export Tool. If a user ID having permission is used with the Export Tool, the

array configuration might be changed in an unfavorable way by an unidentified user.
If you use the Export Tool to save monitoring data, start or stop monitoring, and change the

gathering interval with the set subcommand, the user ID must have at least one of the permissions

for XP Auto LUN, XP Continuous Access, TrueCopy for z/OS, XP Continuous Access Journal, and

Universal Replicator for z/OS.

• User types

You can specify any user type for the user ID for use with the Export Tool.
If you specify storage administrator for the user ID, all the monitoring data described from

Table 3

to

Table 18

can be saved into files.

If you specify storage partition administrator for the user ID, the monitoring data that

can be saved and the Export Tool functions are limited. For more information, see ”

Limitations of

the Export Tool

” on page 82.

For more information about creating user IDs, see the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and

Security Manager XP user guide for the specific array. For more information about XP Performance

Control, see ”

XP Performance Control

” on page 7.
