eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by LHStorageDriveTest

This test auto-discovers the drives on each storage node of the target storage cluster and for each drive, reports the current state, size and temperature. This test also reports the temperature status of each drive. With the help of this test, administrators can not only identify faulty drives, but can also predict the potential failure of a drive, so that efforts can be undertaken to avert the same.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each storage node:Drive combination on the target storage system being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this drive.   The values reported by this measure and their corresponding numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 1
Abnormal 2
Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of each drive. However, in the graph of this measure, the state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.

Mode Indicates the current operational state of this drive.   The values reported by this measure and their corresponding numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Active 100
Inactive 0
Hot Spare 1
Rebuilding 2
Uninitialized 3
Foreign 4
Off or removed 5
Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current operational state of each drive. However, in the graph of this measure, the state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.

Capacity Indicates the total size of this drive. GB  
Temp_status Indicates the current temperature state of this drive.   The values reported by this measure and their corresponding numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Normal 1
Abnormal 2
Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current temperature state of each drive. However, in the graph of this measure, the state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.

Temperature Indicates the current temperature of this drive. Celsius Ideally, the value of this measure should be well within admissible range. An abnormal temperature may result in the damage of the drive.
