Measures reported by HBladePSModuleTest

The Hitachi Compute Blade may comprise of upto four extremely reliable backplane and I/O, N +1 or fully redundant power supply modules. Frequent interruptions of the power supply may damage the power supply module which when left unattended may halt the functioning of the target Hitachi Compute Blade. This may directly affect the delivery of the dependant business services. To avoid such failures/interruptions, administrators should be able to detect the failure of the power supply module at the earliest. This is where the HBladePSModuleTest test helps!

For each power supply module on the target Hitachi Compute Blade, this test reports teh current health and power supply status. This way, administrators are alerted to failure of the power supply modules at the earliest and rectify the failure before the operation of the target Hitachi Compute Blade is completely affected.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Health_Status Indicates the current health of this power supply module.   The values that this measure can report and the numeric values they indicate have been listed in the table below:

measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 1
Failed 2
Unknown 0

Note:

By default, this measure can report the Measure Values mentioned above while indicating the current health of each power supply module. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents.
Power_Status Indicates the current power status of this power supply module.   The values that this measure can report and the numeric values they indicate have been listed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
PowerOff 1
PowerOn 2
Unknown 3

Note:

By default, this measure can report the Measure Values mentioned above while indicating the power status of each power supply module. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents.
