Measures reported by HBladeSWModuleTest
The Hitachi Compute Blade is designed to contain upto 4 high-throughput flexible IO switch modules. The backplane within the server chassis of the target Hitachi Compute Blade interconnects the switch module to the server blades. Each server blade connects to the backplane and thus to the switch modules through an onboard CNA or Mezzanine cards on the server blade. All external ports of a switch module are available even if only one server blade is installed. These switch modules enable the Hitachi Compute Blade to support flexible connectivity for cloud architectures including loseless Ethernet fabrics. If any of these switch modules fail or if these switch modules are under maintenance for a longer duration, then, the switch modules may not be available for use resulting in connectivity failure among the blades. To prevent such failures, administrators should monitor the switch modules round the clock. The HBladeSWModuleTest test helps administrators in this regard!
This test auto-discovers the switch modules within the chassis of the target Hitachi Compute Blade, and reports the current health and power supply status of each switch module. In addition, this test also reveals the switch modules that are currently undermaintenance.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
