Configuration of VshMemoryTest

This test indicates the memory usage of the key components of the MS Virtual server, and enables administrators to judge whether/not adequate free memory is available on the virtual host.

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, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • Specify the PORT at which the HOST listens. By default, this is NULL.

  • This test connects to each virtual guest and attempts to determine whether any user is logged into that guest or not. In order to do so, the test must be configured with user privileges that allow a remote connection to the virtual guest from the virtual host. If the virtual guests are within a DOMAIN, then provide a domain administrator account name in the ADMIN USER text box. If the DOMAIN parameter is set to "none", then a local administrator account has to be specified in the ADMIN USER text box. Prior to this, you need to ensure that the same local administrator account is available or is explicitly created on each of the virtual machines to be monitored. In either case, the eG agent should be able to connect to each guest operating system.

  • The password of the ADMIN USER needs to be provided in the ADMIN PASSWORD text box.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • 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.
