Default Parameters for SolFireVolTest

This test auto discovers the volumes of the target storage system and helps administrators to figure out the volume that is busy processing I/O requests, detect irregularities in the distribution of I/O load across the volumes, analyze the space utilization of each volume and thus enables administrators to initiate pre-emptive measures when I/O processing capability decreases gradually.

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