eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by XIOSCNodeTest

This test monitors each storage controller of the target EMC XtremIO storage array and reports the overall health of the storage controller along with its contained components. This test also reports the current temperature of the front panel of each storage controller, the journaling state and the connection state between the XMS and each storage controller. Using this test, administrators can figure out the storage controllers that were disconnected from the XMS and the reason behind why the storage controller stopped working.

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

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
nodeFBTempState Indicates the current temperature state of the front panel of this storage controller node.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 0
Warning 1
High 2
Invalid 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current health of this InfiniBand Switch. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 3.
nodeHealthSt Indicates the overall health of this storage controller and the components contained in it.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Healthy 0
Partial_fault 1
Degraded 2
Failed 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current health of this storage controller node. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 3.
nodeJournalHealthSt Indicates the current health of the journaling components of this storage controller.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Healthy 0
Dumping 1
Ready 2
Fault 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current health of the journaling components of this storage controller node. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 3.
nodeMgrConnSt Indicates the connection state between the XMS and this Storage Controller manager.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Connected 0
Controlled_disconnect 1
Disconnected 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current connection state of the storage controller node manager. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 2.
nodeStopType Indicates the reason behind why this storage controller stopped.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
None 0
Replaced 1
DAE_stopping 2
DAE_stopped 3
Stopping 4
Stopped 5
Failed_stop 6

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the reason behind why this storage controller stopped. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 to 6.
