Measures reported by LHSysCpuTest

Optimal temperature of the CPU is key smooth functioning of the storage node. In other words, if the CPU of the storage node runs abnormally, then, it could cause I/O processing delays, abrupt shutdowns, etc which in turn could scar the user experience with the storage system. This is why, administrators should keep an eye on the temperature of the CPU and the fan speed of each CPU, so that abnormal temperature patterns can be detected proactively and treated, before end-users complain. This is where the LHSysCpuTest test helps. This test auto-discovers the CPUs of the target storage system and reports the current temperature and the speed of the fan on each CPU. In the process, the test points to those CPUs on which temperature and fan speed are abnormal.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each storage node:CPU of the target storage system being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Temperature Indicates the current temperature of this CPU. Celsius Ideally, the value of this measure should be in permissible range. A sudden increase/decrease in the value of this measure may indicate an abnormal condition of the CPU.
Fan_speed Indicates the current fan speed of this CPU. Rpm Ideally, the value of this measure should be within permissible range. A significant increase/decrease in the value of this measure may indicate severe damage to the fan.
