HPE XP7

• One-time configuration data collection: Use this collection type if you want to collect the
configuration data only once. Any new configuration changes to the XP, P9500, and XP7 disk arrays,
such as new components that are added after the collection completes are not captured in the existing
configuration collection.
• Recurring configuration data collection: Use this collection type if you want to schedule the
configuration data collection periodically on a hourly, daily, weekly, or a monthly basis. Based on the
schedule frequency, PA collects the updated configuration data from the XP, P9500, and XP7 disk
arrays. If you want PA to automatically collect the performance data for new components, you must
enable the corresponding performance data collection schedules to automatically accept and monitor
the performance of new components.
After the host agents appear under the Host Information pane, the following details from the command
devices are also displayed in the Config and Performance Collection table in the Collections screen:
