Default Parameters for VnxPoolTest

This test monitors the usage of space in every storage pool and proactively alerts administrators if the storage space in any pool is about to be used up completely! This way, the test prompts administrators to right-size their storage pools, so that users have no issues accessing their file systems.

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

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

  • The Control Station is the management station for the VNX for File system, and enables control and configuration of the system. The eG agent uses the CLI that runs on the Control Station to monitor and manage the performance of the VNX for File system. To enable the eG agent to use this CLI, specify the IP address of the Control Station in the CONTROLLER STATION IP text box. By default, the IP address of the HOST will be displayed here.

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.
