Configuration of XIOXBricksTest

The test monitors the current state of each X-Brick and also reports the number of SSDs and BBUs available in each X-Brick.

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.

• Specify the IP address of the storage array in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port number at which the storage array listens in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• Provide the credentials of a user who has read-only privileges to the XtremIO Storage Array in the XTREMIO USER and XTREMIO PASSWORD text boxes

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

• The eG agent collects performance metrics by invoking Restful APIs on the target Storage array. Typically, the Restful APIs can be invoked through the HTTP or the HTTPS mode. By default, the eG agent invokes the Restful APIs using the HTTPS mode. This is why, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. If the target storage array is not SSL-enabled, then the Restful APIs can be accessed through the HTTP mode only. In this case, set the SSL flag to No.

• 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.
