Measures reported by OraVdiStorgeTest

The storage server is used to store the virtual disks of the desktops. If the storage server is disabled or is experiencing a space crunch, the desktops using that server may be rendered unusable until such time the problem is resolved. Users attempting to access the desktops during the problem period would also be denied access owing to this. To make sure that the users' desktop experience does not suffer, you will have to periodically check the availability and usage of the storage servers used by desktops and promptly detect issues.

This test auto-discovers the storage servers of VMware vCenter, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Oracle VDI VirtualBox, runs periodic status and space checks on each server, and proactively alerts administrators to potential abnormalities in the space usage of the servers. The test also reports the number of desktops that are using a particular storage server so that, administrators can also analyze the impact of issues with that server.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this server.   If the storage server is enabled, this measure reports the value Enabled. For a server that is disabled, this measure reports the value Disabled.

The table below lists the numeric values that correspond to the states mentioned above:

State Numeric Value
Enabled 1
Disabled 0

Note:

Typically, this measure will report the States indicated in the table above. However, in the graph of this measure, the status of the storage server will be represented using the numeric equivalents only - i.e., 1 and 0.
Tot_capacity Indicates the total storage capacity of this storage server. MB  
Capaci_use Indicates the storage space in this server that is currently being utilized by the assigned desktops. MB Ideally, this value should be low.
Free_capaci Indicates the storage capacity in this server that is currently unused. MB Ideally, this value should be high.
Capaci_util Indicates the percentage of the total capacity of this server that is being utilized. Percent A low value is desired. A high value or a gradual increase in the value indicates a potential space contention on the server.
Num_desktop Indicates the number of desktops that are currently using this storage server. Number The value of this measure will help you understand how many desktops will be affected by a problem with a storage server.
