Measures reported by PANDomainTest

A Domain is a physical hardware platform that resides in a Processing Area Network. Once the domain is added to the PAN, the PAN Manager controls the domain's resources and profiles. A domain is a collection of one or more chassis that share a common (stacked) fabric and have access to the same network and Input/Output resources.

This test reports the status of the PAN Domain and helps the administrator figure out the following:

  • How many chassis and pNodes are present in this domain?
  • How many pNodes are currently active among the available pNodes and how well the pNodes are currently utilized in this domain?

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this PAN Domain.   This measure reports a value Yes if this PAN Domain is currently available and a value No if this PAN Domain is powered off.

The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned measure values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
No 0
Yes 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of this PAN Domain. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the Measure Values as mentioned in the table above.

Totalpnodes Indicates the total number of pNodes available in this PAN Domain. Number A pNode is a physical blade server that provides the CPU processing and memory capabilities for a pServer.
Active_pnodes Indicates the number of pNodes that are currently active in this PAN Domain. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names of the active pNodes.
Pnode_util Indicates the percentage of pNodes that were utilized in this PAN Domain. Percent This measure is a good indicator to check the availabilty of the pNodes in this PAN Domain. A low value of this measure indicates that additional resources such as pServer can be added to this domain. A high value however indicates that additional resources cannot be added further to this domain.
Num_chassis Indicates the number of chassis present in this PAN Domain. Number The detailed diagnosis capability of this measure if enabled, provides you with the details of the chassis such as the name of the chassis, the current status of the chassis, the number of pNodes in this chassis and the number of switches present in the chassis.
Poweredoff_pnodes Indicates the number of pNodes that are currently powered off in this PAN domain. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which pNodes are powered off.
Other_pnodes Indicates the number of pNodes that are currently in a state other than the powered on or the powered off state. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which pNodes are neither in the powered off state nor in the powered on state.
