This test is used to assess the load on every enabled port on the storage device using the HitachiPort test. The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the name of the storage unit to be monitored in the UNITNAME textbox. To determine the unit name registered with the Storage Navigator Client for the AMS SAN device, run the following commands, one after another, from the C:\Program Files\Storage Navigator Modular CLI directory on the Storage Navigator Client:

  • startnsmen
  • auunitref
  The output of the command includes the Name of the storage unit. DF700M_75011118 is a sample unit name.

• Indicate the machine type in the MCTYPE textbox. The value can be AMS or WMS. By default, this parameter is set to AMS.

• Specify the full path to the install directory of the storage navigator in the SNCLIENTLOCATION textbox.

• Indicate the duration (in minutes) in the TIMEOUT textbox for which this test should wait for a response from the storage device. By default, this is set to 5 minutes.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box 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.
