The InodeTest provides statistics related to the Inodes for each drive in a Unix machine.

Note:

This test can function only on Unix platforms.

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, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• There is an inode for each file on a machine and a file is uniquely identified by the file system on which it resides and its inode number on that system. Therefore, provide a file system name in the FSTYPE text box - eg., nfs (for network file systems). Multiple file system names can be provided as a comma-separated list - eg., nfs,ufs,bfs.

• 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 necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will 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.
