Default Parameters for SolFireNodeTest

This test auto discovers the nodes of the target storage system and helps administrators to figure out the CPU utilization of each node, data transmission from and through the network interface and storage interface of the nodes, the throughput of the node, detect irregularities in the distribution of load across the nodes, analyze the memory utilization of each node and thus enables administrators to initiate pre-emptive measures when the load on the node increases abnormally.

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

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

• Specify the API version of the SolidFire storage system to be monitored in SOLIDFIRE API VERSION textbox.

• Provide the credentials of a user who has been assigned with a Monitor role to access the SolidFire storage system in the SOLIDFIRE USERNAME and SOLIDFIRE PASSWORD text boxes.

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

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
