Configuration of SolFireDrivTest

This test auto-discovers the drives of the SolidFire storage system and reports the status, space utilization and processing ability of each of the drives. This enables administrators to proactively detect a potential slowdown in processing or a probable drive contention, identify which drive is contributing to these abnormal phenomena, and intervene to ensure that the problem is resolved before it spirals out of control.

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.

• Specify the IP address of the HOST for which the test is to be configured.

• Specify the PORT at which server listens.

• Specify the API version of the SolidFire storage system to be monitored in SOLIDFIRE API VERSION textbox.

• Provide the credentials of a user who has been assigned with a Monitor role to access the SolidFire storage system in the SOLIDFIRE USERNAME and SOLIDFIRE PASSWORD text boxes.

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

• 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.
