Measures reported by ChstyFansTest

If any of the fans in the storage node suddenly stops running, then, the temperature of the storage system hardware may soar, causing serious damage to the core components of the storage system. To prevent such anamolies, it is imperative to keep a vigil on the speed of the fans round the clock. The ChstyFansTest helps administrators achieve this!

This test auto-discovers the fans on the target storage system, and for each fan, reports the current status and speed. Using this test, administrators can identify the fan that is down and rectify the same well before the stack unit starts malfunctioning.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Fan on the target storage system being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Fan_speed Indicates that current operating speed of this fan. Rpm Ideally, the value of this measure should be within permissible range. A significant increase/decrease in the value of this measure may indicate severe damage to the fan.
