Default Parameters for UnityBatteryTest

This test auto-discovers the battery backup unit of the target storage system and for each battery, reports the current health. Using this test, administrators may be alerted to batteries that failed/degraded and replace those batteries well before users identify any impact on the storage system.

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

• Specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which this test should time out in the TIMEOUT text box. The default is 300 seconds.

• 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.
