Measures reported by LHSysFanTest

If any of the fans in the storage node suddenly stops running, then, the temperature of the storage system hardware may soar, causing serious damage to the core components of the device. To avoid this, it is imperative to keep a vigil on the speed of the fan round the clock. The LHSysFanTest test helps administrators achieve this!

This test auto-discovers the fans on the target storage system, and for each fan, reports the current status and speed. Using this test, administrators can identify the fan that is down and rectify the same well before the stack unit starts malfunctioning.

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

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this fan.   The values reported by this measure and their corresponding numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 1
Abnormal 2
Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of each fan. However, in the graph of this measure, the state is indicated using the Numeric Values only.
Speed Indicates that current operating speed of this fan. 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.
