Configuration of FCCluDiskSumTest

This test monitors the cluster storage and presents a quick summary of the space usage across the used and unused cluster disks that are part of the storage. In the process, the test reveals how much free space is available in the used and unused disks in the storage; using this metric, administrators can figure out whether/not the cluster has enough free space to meet the current and the future demands. If not, administrators can use the pointers provided by this test again to decide what needs to be done to avert resource failures - should more physical disk resources be added to the cluster to handle the current and anticipated load? should space be cleared in the used cluster disks to make room for more data? can better management of unused disks help conserve storage space?

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• Specify the IP address of the storage device in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
