Clariion Disk Array Enclosures Test

This test reveals the status of the hardware components of the disk array enclosure, such as, the fans, the power supply units, and the LCC. Potential hardware failures in the enclosure can be proactively determined with the help of this test.

This test is disabled by default. To enable the test, go to the enable / disable tests page using the menu sequence : Agents -> Tests -> Enable/Disable, pick the EMC Clariion SAN as the desired Component type, set Performance as the Test type, choose the test from the disabled tests list, and click on the < button to move the test to the ENABLED TESTS list. Finally, click the Update button.

Target of the test : An EMC CLARiiON storage device

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each disk array enclosure on the storage device.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the storage device for which this test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the storage device listens. The default is NULL.
CLARiiON IP	By default, the host IP will be displayed here. If the eG agent has also been configured to use the SMI-S provider for metrics collection, then the IP address of host on which the SMI-S provider has been installed, will be displayed here by default. In this case, you should change the value of this parameter to reflect the IP address of the EMC CLARiiON storage device. However, if the eG agent uses only the NaviSphere CLI for monitoring, then the default settings can remain.
NaviseccliPath	The eG agent uses the command-line utility, NaviSecCli.exe, which is part of the NaviSphere Management Suite, to communicate with and monitor the storage device. To enable the eG agent to invoke the CLI, configure the full path to the CLI in the NaviseccliPath text box.
User Name and Password	Provide the credentials of a user who is authorized to access the storage device in the User Name and Password text boxes.
Confirm Password	Confirm the password by retyping it here.
Timeout	Indicate the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from the storage device. By default, this is set to 120 seconds. Note that the 'Timeout' value should always be set between 3 and 600 seconds only.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement

Description

Measurement Unit

Interpretation

Fan A state

Indicates the current state of Fan A.

Status

If the fan A is unavailable, then this measure will return the value "Not Present". On the other hand, if fan A is available, then the value of this measure will be "Present".

The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are as follows:

State	Value
Present	1
Not Present	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the States listed in the table above to indicate the status of fan A. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of fan A using the numeric equivalents - 0 to 2.

Fan B state

Indicates the current state of Fan B.

Status

If fan B is unavailable, then this measure will return the value "Not Present". On the other hand, if fan B is available, then the value of this measure will be "Present".

The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are as follows:

State	Value
Present	1
Not Present	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the values Present or Not Present to indicate the status of fan B. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of fan A using the numeric equivalents - 0 or 1.

Power A state

Indicates the current state of the power supply unit A.

Status

If power unit A is unavailable, then this measure will return the value "Not Present". On the other hand, if power unit A is available, then the value of this measure will be "Present".

The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are as follows:

State	Value
Present	1
Not Present	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the values Present or Not Present to indicate the status of power supply unit A. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of unit A using the numeric equivalents - 0 or 1.

Power B state

Indicates the current state of the power supply unit B.

Status

If power unit B is unavailable, then this measure will return the value "Not Present". On the other hand, if power unit B is available, then the value of this measure will be "Present".

The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are as follows:

State	Value
Present	1
Not Present	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the values Present or Not Present to indicate the status of power supply unit B. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of unit B using the numeric equivalents - 0 or 1.

LCC A state

Indicates the current state of the LCC A.

Status

If LCC A is unavailable, then this measure will return the value "Not Present". On the other hand, if LCC A is available, then the value of this measure will be "Present".

The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are as follows:

State	Value
Present	1
Not Present	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the values Present or Not Present to indicate the status of LCC A. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of LCC A using the numeric equivalents - 0 or 1.

LCC B state

Indicates the current state of the LCC B.

Status

If LCC B is unavailable, then this measure will return the value "Not Present". On the other hand, if LCC B is available, then the value of this measure will be "Present".

The numeric values that correspond to each of the states discussed above are as follows:

State	Value
Present	1
Not Present	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the values Present or Not Present to indicate the status of LCC B. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of LCC B using the numeric equivalents - 0 or 1.
