Default Parameters for HiVSPGxPGroupTest

This test provides information on I/O rates for all the host bus adapters connected to each Storage unit Port.

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

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

• To extract metrics from the target storage device, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a special user account, which is specifically created for use with the Java export utility. This user account should fulfill the following conditions:

  • Should not possess the ‘write’ permission;
  • Can be of any user type; however, to ensure that the eG agent collects statistics pertaining to all storage partitions, it is recommended that this user is of type storage administrator;

  Specify the credentials of such a user in the USERID and PASSWORD text boxes.

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

• Specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which this test should time out in the TIMEOUT text box. The default is 10 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.
