After the session starts, it will go into the Prepared state. Note: The start command will clear any previous historical data for the session.
Stop Monitor	This command will stop the data collection for all volumes in the session. After stopping the session it will go into the Defined state, however, data can still be exported for the session until the session is deleted or restarted.
Reset Monitor	This command is used to manually reset the hardware information for the data collected. The data automatically resets based on the reset time specified in the properties of the session. Manually resetting the session should only be done by a knowledgeable user or when directed by IBM support.
