| Measures reported by VnxNetworkIoTest
This test auto-discovers the network interfaces supported by the EMC VNX Storage system and reports the rate at which network packets and data were transmitted/received over every discovered interface, and the errors encountered by each. This way, the test sheds light on the slow, error-prone, and congested (in terms of level of network traffic) network interfaces of the EMC VNX Storage system.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Packets_received |
Indicates the rate at which the network packets were received over this network interface. |
Packets/sec |
A high rate of incoming and outgoing network packets could indicate that the network interface is experiencing high levels of network traffic. |
| Packets_sent |
Indicates the rate at which the network packets were sent over this network interface. |
Packets/sec |
| Input_errors |
Indicates the rate at which the network input errors were encountered during data transfer over this network interface. |
Errors/Sec |
Ideally, the value of both these measures should be 0. Comparing the value of each of these measures across interfaces will introduce you to the error-prone interfaces. |
| Output_errors |
Indicates the rate at which output errors were encountered during data transfer over this network interface. |
Errors/Sec |
| Received_bytes |
Indicates the rate at which data was received over this network interface. |
KiB/Sec |
A high rate of incoming and outgoing data could indicate that the network interface is experiencing high levels of network traffic and is probably consuming bandwidth excessively. |
| Sent_bytes |
Indicates the rate at which data was sent over this network interface. |
KiB/Sec |
