Measures reported by AlcLucModHealthTest

Chassis Management Module (CMM) is a central management unit that provides key services to manage and coordinate the operations of the Alcatel-Lucent switch. For CMM redundancy, two fully operational CMM modules are installed in the chassis at all times in two available slots.

CMM is one of the most vital components of the switch and if it fails, the functioning of the switch will be completely hampered. Also, CMM is quite a complex component, holding the logic for coordination between different parts of the switch and thus it has multiple points of failure. This is the reason administrators need the CMM units to be monitored continuously so that any potential problem can be identified at the earliest and fixed before it can switch failure.

This test auto-discovers the CMM in the Alcatel-Lucent switch and reports the health of each module. The CMM is the most important part of the switch, it is absolutely important for administrators to be aware of the health of CMM. Using this test, administrators can easily figure out if any of the modules is not functioning well and needs to be replaced before the functioning of the switch is affected.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each module on the switch to be monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
