Measures reported by XIODAEContrTest

The DAE Controller or Link Control Card module is a horizontal card in the middle of the DAE. There are two LCC modules that support the backend SAS connections to the controllers. This test auto-discovers the DAE Controllers of the target EMC XtremIO and reports whether/not each DAE Controller is enabled. Besides, this test reports the current health, life cycle state of each DAE Controller and the current state of the Serial Attached SCSI ports on each DAE Controller. By closely monitoring the health of the DAE Controllers, abnormalities of the DAE Controllers can be identified and rectified at ease!

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each DAE Controller of the target EMC XtremIO being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
enabledState Indicates whether/not this LCC is enabled.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
Yes 0
No 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not this LCC is enabled. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.
fruLifeCycState Indicates the current life cycle state of this LCC i.e., the current health state of the DAE Controller which is mentioned using generic FRUtransition states.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
Healthy 0
Initializing 1
Uninitialized 2
Failed 3
Disconnected 4

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current life cycle state of this LCC. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 4.
jbodContrConnState Indicates the current connectivity state of this LCC.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
Healthy 0
Initializing 1
Uninitialized 2
Failed 3
Disconnected 4

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current connectivity state of this LCC. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.
lccHealthState Indicates the current health of this LCC.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
Level_1_clear 0
Level_2_unknown 1
Level_3_warning 3
Level_4_minor 4
Level_5_major 5
Level_6_critical 5

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current health of this LCC on the DAE. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 5.
sasPort1State Indicates the current state of the Serial Attached SCSI port 1 of this LCC.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
Up 0
Down 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state Serial Attached SCSI port 1 of this DAE Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.
sasPort2State Indicates the current state of the Serial Attached SCSI port 2 of this LCC.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure value Numeric Value
On 0
Off 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state Serial Attached SCSI port 2 of this DAE Controller. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 1.
