Default Parameters for VnxFileSpaceTest

For every file system residing in each data mover in a DME, this test reports the total storage capacity of the file system and how this capacity is utilized. In the process, the test proactively alerts administrators to a potential space-crunch, accurately points them to the exact file system that is running out of storage space, and also leads them to the correct location of the file system - i.e., it indicates which data mover contains that file system. This way, the test ensures that the file system is adequately sized and is continuously available for reading and writing.

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

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

  • The Control Station is the management station for the VNX for File system, and enables control and configuration of the system. The eG agent uses the CLI that runs on the Control Station to monitor and manage the performance of the VNX for File system. To enable the eG agent to use this CLI, specify the IP address of the Control Station in the CONTROLLER STATION IP text box. By default, the IP address of the HOST will be displayed here.

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.
