Measures reported by VrtxSystemSlotTest
The Dell VRTX chassis has slots available based on the versions to manage the dell blade server system. Before attempting to install a server in a slot, administrators should determine whether/not that slot is free or is already in use. Also, once a server is installed in a slot, administrators should continuously track the health of that slot. This is because, if a slot experiences a critical problem, then users may not be able to access the server installed in that slot. To effectively plan and efficiently execute server installations and to ensure that installed servers are always accessible to users, administrators can take the help of the VrtxSystemSlotTest test.
This test not only reports the health of each slot, but also indicates whether/not a slot is available for use.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
