Default Parameters for VNXeDiskConfTest

This test monitors the overall health, and the capacity of each disk inserted in the slot of the target storage system. With the help of this test, administrators can not only identify failed disks, but can also predict the potential failure of a disk, so that efforts can be undertaken to avert the same.

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

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

• The eG agent uses the command-line utility, UEMCli.exe, which is part of the UniSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI in the UNISPHERE CLI PATH text box.

• Provide the credentials of a user possessing monitor role to access the storage device in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

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

• Select the version of the target EMC VNXe storage system that is to be monitored from the VNXe VERSION list. By default, 1600 will be chosen from this list.

• 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.
