Measures reported by EMCPvMeCtlPrtStTest
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 EMCPvMeCtlPrtStTest becomes useful. This test reports the current status and health of each host port of every controller available in the EMC PowerVault ME storage system, thus leading administrators to the defective ports.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each host port of the controller being monitored.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| status |
Indicates the current operational state of this host port of this controller. |
|
The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Error |
0 |
| Disconnected |
1 |
| Warning |
2 |
| Unknown |
3 |
| Up |
4 |
| Not Present |
5 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the operational state of a host port of this controller. However, in the graph of this measure the same will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only. |
| health |
Indicates the overall health of this host port of this controller. |
|
The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Fault |
0 |
| Degraded |
1 |
| OK |
2 |
| Not applicable |
3 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the overall health of a host port. However, in the graph of this measure, the health of a host port will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.
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. |
