Blade Motherboard Intersight Test
Motherboard is most important part of the any server or any device setup as it host various components nd provide a way for components to interact with each other. Cisco Intersight manages various functions of the motherboard and allows for customization. If motherboard is not functioning well, the whole server operation will fail. This is the reason it is important to monitor the motherboard management.
This test monitors the motherboard managed by Cisco Intersight and collects teh key metrics like type of CPU, power, no of graphics cards, memory arrays etc. This test provides full information to administrators about the state and capacity of motherboard.
Target of the test : Cisco Intersight
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Blade server motherboard managed by Cisco Intersight
