Measures reported by VrtxPciDeviceTest

PCI refers to a Peripheral Component Interconnect, which is used for attaching hardware devices to the VRTX. A single VRTX chassis supports up to 8 PCI devices. To know which PCI devices are currently operating in an error-free manner and which ones are not, use the VrtxPciDeviceTest test.

This test auto-discovers the PCI devices and reports the current health of each device.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Health_status Indicates how healthy this PCI device currently is.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Other 1
Unknown 2
Normal 3
NonCritical 4
Critical 5
NonRecoverable 6

Note:

By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed above to indicate the current health of a PCI device. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only.
