Configuration of VNXeLUNCapTest

Using this test, administrators can figure out if the LUN is thin provisioned or not. Also, this test throws light on total capacity and the allocated capacity of each LUN. This way, administrators can figure out the LUN that is allocated with more storage resources. This test also helps administrators figure out the total capacity of each LUN in the storage pool.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

  • The eG agent uses the command-line utility, UEMCli.exe, which is part of the UniSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI in the UNISPHERE CLI PATH text box.

  • Provide the credentials of a user possessing monitor role to access the storage device in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • In the VNXe VERSION text box, select the version of the target EMC VNXe storage system that is to be monitored from this list. By default, 1600 will be chosen from this list.

  • Specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which this test should time out in the TIMEOUT text box. The default is 300 seconds.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
