Configuration of HBAStatsTest

For every port configured on the Host Bus Adapter, this test reports the port state, the I/O processing ability of the ports, and the errors encountered by each port. In the process, the test not only points administrators to overloaded ports, but also puts a finger on ports that are slow in processing I/O requests and the ports that are erroneous.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address for which the test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port number used by the target server.

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

• f 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.

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.
