Measures reported by HBladeChasLEDTest

If multiple virtualization platforms are combined in a single chassis of the Hitachi Compute Blade and are configured to share the same physical resources, then it is the onus of the administrators to keep a constant vigil on the chassis! For easy identification of problem scenarios, the chassis is provided with the following LEDs:

  • Power LED
  • Power LED
  • Power LED
  • Power LED

If the LEDs fail or if the LEDs are damaged, then, administrators may be deprived of identifying the problems that occur on the chassis. To avoid this issue, it is necessary to figure out the fauly LEDs and replace them at the earliest. The HBladeChasLEDTest test aids administrators in this exercise by constantly keeping a vigil on the status of the LEDs and the color of the LEDs.

This test reports the current status and color of each LED available in the server chassis.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
