Measures reported by VrtxCoolingUnitTest
A cooling unit in VRTX typically consists of many fan modules and blower modules. These cooling units ensure that the temperature of the VRTX is at permissible levels. If a cooling unit fails, then the temperature of the associated hardware components cannot be automatically regulated. This may cause the internal temperature of the VRTX to rise uncontrollably, resulting in considerable damage to the hardware. This is why, the health of each cooling unit should be verified time and again, and abnormalities (if any) escalated to the administrator. This is exactly what the VrtxCoolingUnitTest test does!
This test reports the current health of each cooling unit of the VRTX, thus turning the spotlight on those units that may potentially fail. In addition, the test also checks the redundancy status of each cooling unit, and highlights the non-redundant units.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Health_status |
Indicates how healthy this cooling unit currently is. |

Note:
By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed above to indicate the current health of a cooling unit. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only. |
| Redundancy_status |
Indicates the current redundancy status of this cooling unit. |
