Configuration of ProxHypStorageTest

This test auto-discovers all the storage that are being utilized by the target Proxmox Hypervisor and for each storage, reports the critical measures related to storage space utilization. Using these statistics, administrators can increase the storage capacity before a possible performance deterioration of the VMs hosted on the target hypervisor occurs. In addition, this test also alerts the administrators of inactivity of each storage.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• Specify the port at which the specified host listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• Specify the name of the Proxmox node that you wish to monitor in PROXMOX NODE NAME text box. By default, this parameter is set to none indicating that the test monitor all the nodes in the target hypervisor.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS button will appear in this page. Clicking on this button will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
