Configuration of CtxPVSWCacheTest

This test monitors the size and usage of the write cache and proactively alerts administrators when the write-cache runs out of space.

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 of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the HOST listens. By default, this is NULL.

• Specify the location of the write cache file to be monitored in the PVS WRITE CACHE LOCATION text box. By default, this will be: d:\vdiskdiff.vhdx.

• Specify the maximum size upto which the write cache file can grow in the PVS WRITE CACHE MAX SIZE text box. By default, this is set to 10 GB.

• 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.
