You can use the startesscollection command to collect data. After you create and name a data collection task for an ESS, you can start the data collection task in one of these ways:
The following example starts a collection against two ESS devices to run every 10 minutes for five hours.
perfcli startcollection -devid 1234.12345,6789.67890 -devip 192.168.0.10,192,168.0.11 -freq 10 -length 5 collection2
The following example starts a collection against a single ESS device to run every minute for an hour.
perfcli startcollection -devid 1234.12345 -devip 192.168.0.10 -freq 1 -length 1 collection2
The resulting output:
Performance task collection2 successfully started.
