Default Parameters for ClariionSpPortTest

This test reports the current status and overall health of each port on each storage processor supported by the storage system being monitored.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ClariionSpPortTest.

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

  • By default, the HOST IP will be displayed in the CLARIION IP text box. If at a later point in time, the IP address of the device changes, you can change the CLARIION IP accordingly.

  • The eG agent uses the command-line utility, NaviSecCli.exe, which is part of the NaviSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI in the NAVISECCLIPATH text box.

  • In the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes, provide the credentials of the USER, who is authorized to access the SAN storage device.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • By default, the IGNORE DISABLED SPPORT flag is set to No, indicating that the test monitors all ports on all storage processors by default. Set this flag to Yes if you want the test to consider only the 'enabled' storage processor pors for monitoring.

  • In the EXCLUDE SPPORTS text box , provide a comma-separated list of PortName PortID pairs that you want to exclude from the monitoring scope of this test. For instance, your specification can be: SPA 0,SPA 1,SPB 2. By default, this is set to none indicating that no ports are excluded by default.

  • In the TIMEOUT text box, indicate the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from the storage device. By default, this is set to 120 seconds.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. e.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
