Configuration of ClariionSPTest

This test monitors the current state and I/O activity on each of the storage processors supported by the storage system.

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.

  • The PORT text box refers to the port used by the SAN server. The default port is 'null'.

  • By default, the HOST IP will be displayed in the CLARIION IP text box. If at a later point in time, the IP address of the device changes, you can change the CLARIION IP accordingly.

  • The eG agent uses the command-line utility, NaviSecCli.exe, which is part of the NaviSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI in the NAVISECCLIPATH text box.

  • In the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes, provide the credentials of the USER, who is authorized to access the SAN storage device.

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

  • In the TIMEOUT text box, indicate the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from the storage device. By default, this is set to 120 seconds.

  • 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.
