Equipment PSU Control - Intersight Test

A Cisco equipment chassis managed by Cisco Intersight can be provided with one or more hot-swappable power supplies. Each power supply is fitted with a control unit which maintain the inputs and output power voltage. As issues in the power supply units can adversely impact the performance of the blade servers in a chassis, administrators need to promptly detect power-related issues and rectify them before any irrepairable damage is done.

This test aids in the timely detection of issue with power supply control unit by collection of key metrics like status of power supply control, status of input and output power etc.

Target of the test : Cisco Intersight

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each PSU control managed by Cisco Intersight

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the Host
Port	The port number through which Cisco Intersight communicates.
API Key ID	Specify the ID for API key which is used to authenticate the eg Agent connectivity to Cisco Intersight.
API Key Filepath	Specify the filepath from where eG Agent can read the API Key.
URL	Specify the URL for Cisco Intersight. the default is intersight.com.
Proxy Host	Specify the IP address of the proxy host server.
Proxy Port	Specify the port number of the proxy host server.
Proxy User Name	The user name for the proxy server authentication.
Proxy Password	The password for the proxy server authentication.
Confirm Password	Specify the passowrd again.
Detailed Diagnoses	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.
