Default Parameters for TPDCpgCapctyTest

A common provisioning group (CPG) creates a virtual pool of logical disks that allows virtual volumes to share the CPG's resources and allocates space on demand. A CPG allows up to 65,536 virtual volumes to share a CPG's assigned resources. The allocated capacity of CPG includes usable space, snap space and administration space. This test periodically checks the usage of those spaces on the target storage system and proactively alerts administrators to potential storage space contentions so that, amends are made before application performance deteriorates.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the TPDCpgCapctyTest.

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

  • Specify the credentials of a user who has the right to execute API commands on the storage system and pull out metrics. To monitor the HP 3PAR Storage system, you will have to provide the credential of a user who has been assigned the Monitor role, in the USER and PASSWORD text boxes.

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

  • The Secured Shell (SSH) port number at which the Storage system listens is specified in SSH PORT textbox. The default is 22.

  • By default, this test uses the wbem.jar for metrics collection. This is why, the wbem option is selected by default. If you want the test to use the sblimCIMClient.jar for collecting metrics, choose the sblim option here.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
