Measures reported by ScvmmMacAddrTest

VMM uses static MAC address pools to automatically generate and assign MAC address to VMs.

Administrators need to track the usage of these pools, so they can quickly identify pools that do not have enough MAC addresses for allocation to VMs. The ScvmmMacAddrTest test helps administrators perform this usage tracking!

This test automatically discovers the MAC address pools that have been created in SCVMM. For each pool, the test reports the count of addresses that have already been allocated to VMs and the number that is available for allocation. This way, the test points to pools that have been over-utilized. Detailed diagnosis reveals the host groups to which the MAC addresses in a pool have been assigned.

Outputs of the test: One set of the results for each MAC address pool

Descriptor:MAC Address Pool

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Allocated_address Indicates the number of addresses that have been allocated from this pool and assigned to VMs. Number

 

Available_address Indicates the number of addresses in this pool that are yet to be allocated/assigned. Number

 

Unassigned_address Indicates the number of addresses that have been allocated from this pool, but have not yet been assigned to any VMs. Number

 

Total_address Indicates the total number of addresses in this pool. Number

Using the detailed diagnosis of this measure, you can know which host groups are associated with the pool.
