eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by XIOSCIBsTest

This test reports whether/not each Infiniband Switch is enabled. This test also helps administrators to determine the availability of each Infiniband Switch, the current health of the switches and the state of the ports on the Infiniband Switches. Using this test, administrators can easily identify the infiniband switch that is prone to errors.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each disk of the target EMC XtremIO being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
ibLinkHealthLevel Indicates the health of this InfiniBand Switch when linked to this Storage Controller.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Level_1_clear 0
Level_2_unknown 1
Level_3_warning 2
Level_4_minor 3
Level_5_major 4
Level_6_critical 5

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the health of this InfiniBand Switch in the Storage Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 5.
ibPortState Indicates the state of the port available on this Storage Controller that is linked to this InfiniBand Switch.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Up 0
Down 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the state of the port available in this InfiniBand Switch of the Storage Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.
ibPortMisConnection Indicates the health of this InfiniBand Switch connection between the Storage Controllers.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Healthy 0
Not_node 1
Wrong_port 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the health of this InfiniBand Switch connection between the Storage Controllers. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 2.
ibLinkDowned Indicates the number of times the port to which this Infiniband Switch was connected was down. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
ib1LinkErrRecovery Indicates the number of times the port to which this InfiniBand Switch was connected successfully completed a link error recovery procedure. Number  
ib1PortRcvError Indicates the number of times logical link integrity errors were encountered by the port to which this InfiniBand Switch was connected. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
ib1PortRcvRemotePhyErr Indicates the number of remote physical errors encountered by the port to which this InfiniBand Switch was connected. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
ib1SymbolErrors Indicates the number of symbol errors encountered by the port of this InfiniBand Switch of the Storage Controller. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
