eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by VmgEAdaptTest

This test reports the generic statistics of the ethernet device.(reports how the pSeries server utilizes the ethernet device).

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Trans_pkts Indicates the total number of packets transmitted successfully by this ethernet device to the pSeries server during the last measurement period. Number  
Rec_pkts Indicates the total number of packets received successfully by this ethernet device from the VMs during the last measurement period. Number  
Trans_bytes Indicates the rate at which bytes are successfully transmitted by this ethernet device to this pSeries server during the last measurement period. KB/sec  
Rec_bytes Indicates the rate at which bytes are successfully received by this ethernet device from the VMs during the last measurement period. KB/sec  
Trans_err Indicates the number of output errors encountered on this ethernet device during the last measurement period. Number This counter is provided to figure out the unsuccessful transmissions that had occured due to hardware/network errors.
Rec_err Indicates the number of input errors encountered on this ethernet device during the last measurement period. Number This counter is provided to figure out the unsuccessful reception that had occured due to hardware/network errors.
Trans_pkts_drop Indicates the number of packets dropped by the ethernet device driver during transmission of the packets to the pSeries server i.e., the number of packets that were not sent by the ethernet device to the pSeries server during the last measurement period. Number  
Rec_pkts_drop Indicates the number of packets dropped by the ethernet device driver while receiving the packets from the VMs i.e., the number of packets that were not given to a network demuxer by this ethernet device during the last measurement period. Number
