Configuration of UCSCsMemErrorTest

This test continuously tracks the memory errors occurring in the DIMM of the Cisco UCS Manager and reports the number of memory errors that occurred during various time slots. By regularly analyzing the metrics reported by this test, administrators can determine when exactly the error occurrence was high and troubleshoot the memory issues better.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• The variable name of the port at which the specified host listens in the HOST text box.

• In the UCS USER and UCS PASSWORD text boxes, provide the credentials of a user with at least read-only privileges to the target Cisco UCS Manager.

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

• By default, the Cisco UCS Manager is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default.

• By default, in most virtualized environments, Cisco UCS Manager listens on port 80 (if not SSL-enabeld) or on port 443 (if SSL-enabled) only. This implies that while monitoring Cisco UCS Manager, the eG agent, by default, connects to port 80 or 443, depending upon the SSL-enabled status of Cisco UCS Manager - i.e., if Cisco UCS Manager is not SSL-enabled (i.e., if the SSL flag above is set to No), then the eG agent connects to Cisco UCS Manager using port 80 by default, and if Cisco UCS Manager is SSL-enabled (i.e., if the SSL flag is set to Yes), then the agent-Cisco UCS Manager communication occurs via port 443 by default. Accordingly, the WEBPORT parameter is set to default by default.

  In some environments however, the default ports 80 or 443 might not apply. In such a case, against the WEBPORT parameter, you can specify the exact port at which the Cisco UCS Manager in your environment listens, so that the eG agent communicates with that port for collecting metrics from the Cisco UCS Manager.

• 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.
