Measures reported by SolFireNodeTest

A SolidFire storage node is a collection of drives that communicate with each other through the CIPI Bond10G network interface. Drives in the node contain block and metadata space for data storage and data management.

This test auto discovers the nodes of the target storage system and helps administrators to figure out the CPU utilization of each node, data transmission from and through the network interface and storage interface of the nodes, the throughput of the node, detect irregularities in the distribution of load across the nodes, analyze the memory utilization of each node and thus enables administrators to initiate pre-emptive measures when the load on the node increases abnormally.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each node on the target storage device.

Descriptor of the test: Node
