eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by VNXeSPTest

This test auto-discovers the storage processors on the target storage system and for each storage processor, reports the current health, uptime and the temperature. Using this test, administrators may be alerted to storage processors that failed/degraded, rebooted too often and operating at abnormal temperature range and take remedial steps to replace those storage processors before end users start complaining.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Storage Processor on the target storage system being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
healthStatus Indicates the current health of this storage processor.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
Normal 0
Attention 1
Unknown 2
Degraded/Warning 3
Minor failure 4
Major failure 5
Critical failure 6
Non-recoverable error 7

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current health of this storage processor. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 7.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the storage processor name, the health , the name of the disk processor enclosure, the manufacturer model and mode of the storage processor.
memorySize Indicates the current memory of this storage processor. GB  
utilization Indicates the maximum percentage of core utilization detected on this storage processor. Percentage A consistently high value for this measure is a cause of concern.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the storage processor, the VNX time and the CPU utilization of the storage processor.
avgUtilization Indicates the average percentage of core utilization detected on this storage processor. Percentage  
uptime Indicates the total time that this storage processor has been up since its last reboot.   This measure displays the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last reboot. Administrators may wish to be alerted if the storage processor has been running without a reboot for a very long period. Setting a threshold for this metric allows administrators to determine such conditions.
isRebooted Indicates whether this storage processor has been rebooted during the last measurement period or not.   If the value of this measure is Yes, it means that the storage processor was rebooted during the last measurement period. By checking the time periods when this metric changes from No to Yes, an administrator can determine the times when this storage processor was rebooted.
temperature Indicates the current temperature of this storage processor. Celsius Ideally, the temperature of this storage processor should be within permissible range. An abnormally high temperature of may lead to irreversible damage of the storage processor.
