Measures reported by XIOXBricksTest

The XtremIO Storage array is a scale-out architecture, which is built using fundamental building blocks called X-Bricks. Each X-Brick is comprised of:

  • One 2U Disk Array Enclosure (DAE), containing:

    • 25 eMLC SSDs (standard X-Brick) or 13 eMLC SSDs (10TB Starter X-Brick [5TB])

    • Two redundant power supply units (PSUs)

    • Two redundant SAS interconnect modules

  • One Battery Backup Unit

  • Two 1U Storage Controllers (redundant storage processors) which includes,

    • Two redundant power supply units (PSUs)

    • Two 8Gb/s Fiber Channel (FC) ports

    • Two 10GbE iSCSI ports

    • Two 40Gb/s InfiniBand ports

    • One 1Gb/s management/IPMI port

This test monitors the current state of each X-Brick and also reports the number of SSDs and BBUs available in each X-Brick.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each X-Brick of the target EMC XtremIO being monitored

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
xBrickState Indicates the current state of this X-Brick.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
In sys 0
Unknown 1

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the state of this X-Brick. However, in the graph, this measure is indicated using the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
noOfSSDs Indicates the total number of SSDs available in this X-Brick. Number  
noOfBBUs Indicates the number of BBUs in this X-Brick. Number If the value of this measure is 1 then this X-Brick is a stand-alone X-Brick. If the value of this measure is 2 then this X-Brick is a single X-Brick cluster.
