eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by XIOSCtrlrTest

This test auto-discovers the storage controllers in the target EMC XtremIO Storage array and reports where/not each storage controller is enabled. Using this test, administrators can figure out the current health of the storage controller and the components with the storage controller such as fan, Field Replaceable unit, internal sensor, management port etc. This test also helps administrators determine the journaling state and the RAM usage level of each storage controller. The temperature and voltage deviation of each storage controller can also be easily detected and rectified.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Storage Controller on the target EMC XtremIO being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Healthy 0
Initializing 1
Uninitialized 2
Failed 3
Disconnected 4

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of the IPMI port on this Storage Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents - 0 to 4.

Measure Value Numeric Value
Level_1_clear 0
Level_2_unknown 1
Level_3_warning 2
Level_4_minor 3

iscsiDaemonState Indicates the state of the iSCSI deamon of this Storage Controller.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Healthy 0
Failed 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the state of the iSCSI deamon of this Storage Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.
journalState Indicates the health of the journals during failover and failback on this Storage controller.   Every piece of information that is not committed to the SSD is kept in multiple locations, called Journals. Each software module has its own Journal, which is not kept on the same Storage Controller, and can be used to restore data in case of unexpected failure. Journals are regarded as highly important and are always kept on Storage Controllers with battery backed up power supplies. In case of a problem with the Battery Backup Unit, the Journal fails over to another Storage Controller. In case of global power failure, the Battery Backup Units ensure that all Journals are written to vault drives in the Storage Controllers and the system is turned off.

The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Healthy 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the journal health state regarding failover and failback of this Storage Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only i.e., 0.

Measure Value Numeric Value
Healthy 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the health of the RAM low level indicator of this Storage Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only i.e., 0.
