Measures reported by CtxSDXXenMiscTest

Citrix NetScaler SDX platforms can accommodate two power supplies, except the SDX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 and SDX 24100/24150 platforms which can accommodate four power supplies. All NetScaler appliances function properly with a single power supply, except the SDX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 and SDX 24100/24150 platforms which need two power supplies for proper operation. The other power supply(ies) serves as a backup.

Regardless of the power backup available, an administrator may want to be alerted even if a single power supply fails. This way, he/she can arrange to have that power supply replaced before the backup fails too and brings the SDX appliance down! This is where the CtxSDXXenMiscTest test helps!

This test monitors each power supply of the SDX appliance and alerts administrator if any power supply fails. This way, the test prompts administrators to quickly replace the failed supply and ensure the high availability of the SDX appliance.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each power supply on the target NetScaler SDX.
