Default Parameters for XIOClusPerfTest

This test reports the I/O processing capability of each cluster with respect to the data block size. For each data block size, this test reports how well the data block is processed, the time taken to process each data block size etc.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the XIOClusPerfTest.

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

• Provide the credentials of a user who has read-only privileges to the XtremIO Storage Array in the XTREMIO USER and XTREMIO PASSWORD text boxes

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

• The eG agent collects performance metrics by invoking Restful APIs on the target Storage array. Typically, the Restful APIs can be invoked through the HTTP or the HTTPS mode. By default, the eG agent invokes the Restful APIs using the HTTPS mode. This is why, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. If the target storage array is not SSL-enabled, then the Restful APIs can be accessed through the HTTP mode only. In this case, set the SSL flag to No.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
