Measures reported by DellHwArrCtlTest

This test reports the current operational and error state of each of the array controllers on Dell hardware, and also reports the current configuration of each array controller, such as its type, cache size, and memory size.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Type Indicates the type of this array controller.   The values this can measure report and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
SCSI 1
PV660F 2
PV662F 3
IDE (Integrated / Intelligent Drive Electronics) 4
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) 5
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 6

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the array controller type. However, in the graph of this measure, the type is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.

State Indicates the current operational state of this array controller.   The values this measure can report and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Unknown 0
Ready 1
Failed 2
Online 3
Offline 4
Degraded 6

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of an array controller. However, in the graph of this measure, the operational state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
RebuildRate Indicates the percentage of compute cycles dedicated to rebuilding failed array disks in this array controller. Percent During a rebuild, the complete contents of an array disk are reconstructed. The rebuild rate, configurable between 0% and 100%, represents the percentage of the system resources dedicated to rebuilding failed array disks. At 0%, the rebuild will have the lowest priority for the controller, will take the most time to complete, and will be the setting with the least impact to system performance. A rebuild rate of 0% does not mean that the rebuild is stopped or paused.

At 100%, the rebuild will be at the highest priority for the controller, will minimize the rebuild time, and will be the setting with the most impact to system performance.
CacheSizeinMB Indicates the current amount of memory in the cache of this array controller. MB  
PhysicalDeviceCount Indicates the number of physical devices on this controller channel including both disks and the controller. Number  
LogicalDeviceCount Indicates the number of virtual disks on this controller. Number  
MemorySizeinMB Indicates the size of this controller's memory. MB  
SeverityState Indicates the status of the controller itself without the Propagation of any contained component status.   The values this measure can report and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Other 1
Unknown 2
OK 3
Non-critical 4
Critical 5
Non-recoverable 6

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current status of an array controller. However, in the graph of this measure, the operational state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
