Configuration of SolFirePCluTest

This test auto-discovers the SolidFire Clusters that are paired with the target SolidFire Cluster, and for each paired SolidFire Cluster, this test reports the current connection status and the time taken for the target SolidFire Cluster to synchronize the data. Using this test, administrators can figure out the paired SolidFire Cluster that is slow to synchronize the data.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• Specify the IP address of the HOST for which the test is to be configured.

• Specify the PORT at which server listens.

• 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.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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.
