Measures reported by PANpNodeTest

This test reports the current status of the pNode in this PAN Domain and also helps the administrator to determine the following:

  • the speed of the CPU in the pNode;
  • the number of sockets, CPU cores, vNICs and vHBAs available in this pNode;
  • the size of the RAM in each CPU;
  • Which type of pool i.e., global or local does the pNode belong to? etc.
This test also extensively reports the temperature of the pNode and the temperature of the components present in the pNode like CPU, hard drive etc. With the help of these statistics, the adminstrator can pin-point the problem areas when there is an indication of abnormal temperature in the pNode.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
State Indicates the current state of this pNode in this PAN Domain.   If the pNode is powered on in this PAN Domain, then the value of this measure will be reported as Powered on. If the pNode is powered off, then the value of this measure will be reported as Powered off.

The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned measure values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Powered on 1
Powered off 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current state of this pNode. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents i.e., 0 or 1.

The detailed diagnosis capability of this measure if enabled, lists the LPAN NAME/PSERVER NAME in which the pNode is powered on.

Clk_speed Indicates the clock speed of the CPU in this pNode. GHz  
Num_socket Indicates the number of sockets available in this pNode. Number  
Num_core Indicates the number of CPU cores available in this pNode. Number  
Ram_size Indicates the size of RAM available in this pNode. GB  
Cache_size Indicates the amount of memory that is allocated for cache in this pNode. MB  
Num_nics Indicates the number of virtual Network Interface Cards (NIC) available in this pNode. Number vNIC is the Virtual Network Interface Card i.e., in this case, a PAN Manager Ethernet interface you create on a pServer. A vNIC interface functions just like a physical NIC, and is the means by which a pServer connects to an Ethernet network.
Num_vhbas Indicates the number of virtual Host Bus Adapters (HBA) that are currently available in this pNode. Number The Virtual Host Bus Adapter (vHBA) is a PAN Manager SAN interface you create on a pServer. A vHBA interface functions like a physical HBA, and is the means by which a pServer connects to a SAN environment.
Evt_util Indicates the percentage of eventlog that is currently utilized in this pNode. Percent  
Num_local_pool Indicates whether/not this pNode is in the local pool.   A local pool is a set of processing resources used by a specific LPAN and from which pNodes can be assigned to pServers running in that LPAN.

The pNode in a local pool cannot be assigned to pServers running in other LPANs. Administrators can link a local pool to a Global Pool, so the PAN Manager will attempt to allocate a pNode from the global pool if it cannot obtain one from the local pool.

This measure reports a value Yes, if this pNode is in the local pool and a value No if this pNode is not in the local pool.

The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned measure values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating whether/not this pNode is in the local pool. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents i.e., 0 or 1.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists out the name of the local pool in which this pNode is available.

Num_glob_pool Indicates whether/not this pNode is in the global pool.   A global pool is a pNode Pool that is used by the whole PAN, from which pNodes are made available to pServers running in the PAN. A global pool spans LPANs i.e., the pNodes in a global pool can be made available to pServers running in any LPAN.

This measure reports a value Yes, if this pNode is in the global pool and a value No if this pNode is not in the global pool.

The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned measure values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating whether/not this pNode is in the global pool. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents i.e., 0 or 1.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists out the name of the global pool in which this pNode is available.

CPU_temp Indicates the average CPU temperature of this pNode. Celcius Ideally, this temperature should be well within the specified limits.
Mem_temp Indicates the average memory temperature of this pNode. Celcius Ideally, this temperature should be well within the specified limits.
Ambient_temp Indicates the room temperature of this pNode. Celcius Ideally, this temperature should be well within the specified limits.
Dimms_temp Indicates the average Dual in-line memory module temperature of this pNode. Celcius Ideally, this temperature should be well within the specified limits.
Virtual_fan_speed Indicates the speed of the virtual fan in this pNode. Rpm An abnormal speed may cause damage to the fans. So the speed of the fans must be well within normal limits.
Mezz_zone Indicates the zone temperature of this pNode. Celcius  
CNA_zone Indicates the CNA zone temperature of this pNode. Celcius  
Nic_zone Indicates the NIC zone temperature of this pNode. Celcius  
Hdd_temp Indicates the hard drive temperature of this pNode. Celcius Ideally, this temperature should be well within the specified limits.
Sys_board Indicates the temperature of the system board in this pNode. Celcius Ideally, this temperature should be well within the specified limits.
