Measures reported by CrySrvLANFanTest

Fans ensure that the temperature of the Cryptoserver HSM device are well-within operable limits. A sudden rise/fall of the fan's speed may lead to fan failures. This in turn, may cause permanent damage to the sensitive components of the device. To avoid such heavy duty damage, it is necessary to monitor the operational speed of the fans at regular intervals. This is where the CrySrvLANFanTest test exactly helps!

This test auto-discovers the fans in the Cryptoserver HSM and for each fan, reports the current operational speed. Using this test, administrators can figure out the fans that do not operate within the admissible speed range and replace them at the earliest.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each fan of the Cryptoserver HSM that is being monitored.

Descriptor of the test : Fan name

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
fan_speed Indicates the current operational speed of this fan. RPM

The speed of the fan should be well within admissible range.

A sudden/significant rise/fall in the value of this measure could be a cause of concern which warrants an investigation.
