Measures reported by PureRepArrTest

The FlashArray enables connecting two arrays to provide high availability and data protection, and to prevent single point of failure. When the arrays are connected, the array where the data is being transferred from is called the source array, and the array where data is being transferred to is called the target array. After two arrays are connected, the target array must allow the connection from the source array to accept the data being transferred. If the connection is not established or lost between the arrays, the data will not be transferred to the target array. The very purpose of the high availability and data protection of the arrays may therefore, be defeated. To prevent such eventualities, administrators should continuously monitor the connection status between the source and target arrays. To achieve this, administrators can use the PureRepArrTest test.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the FlashArray being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
status Indicates the connection status of the replicated array.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Connected 100
Not connected 0
Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether the replicated array is connected or not. The graph of this measure however is represented using the numeric equivalents only - 0 or 100.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the name, ID and type of the replicated array.
