Measures reported by HpP2kCtrlPortStTest
A Host Port is a port on a controller module that interfaces with a host computer, either directly or through a network switch. If users repeatedly complain that they are unable to access the storage system from remote hosts, it would be good practice to check the availability, and the overall operational and health status of the host ports on the controller, as disconnected, error-prone, and even faulty host ports can render the storage system inaccessible to users. This is when the HpP2kCtrlPortStTest test becomes useful. This test reports the current status and health of each host port of every controller available in the HP P2000 SAN storage system, thus leading administrators to the defective ports.
This test reports the current status and health of each host port of every controller available in the HP P2000 SAN storage system, thus leading administrators to the defective ports.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |

Interpretation |
| status |
Indicates the current operational state of this host port of this controller. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are indicated below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Error |
0 |
| Disconnected |

4 |
| Not Present |
5 |
Note:By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the operational state of this host port of this controller. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the States as mentioned in the table above. |
| health |
Indicates the overall health of this host port of this controller. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are indicated below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Fault |
0 |
| Degraded |
1 |
| OK |
2 |
| Not applicable |
3 |
Note:By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the overall health of this host port of this controller. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the Measure Values as mentioned in the table above.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the time, the name of the host port and the reason for the health of the host port. |
