Measures reported by CtxSDXXenFanTest
If a fan cooling the SDX hardware malfunctions, it can cause the hardware temperature to soar and may even cause irreparable damage to the hardware. If this is to be avoided, the speed and state of each fan supported by the SDX appliance should be tracked, and administrators immediately notified of abnormalities. This is what the CtxSDXXenFanTest test does. This test monitors the speed and operational state of each fan the target SDX appliance supports and promptly alerts administrators if the fan experiences errors or if the speed of the fan increases abnormally.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each fan supported by the target NetScaler SDX.
