EMC Unity Power Supplies Test

This test auto-discovers the power supply units on the target storage system and for each power supply unit, reports the current health. Using this test, administrators may be alerted to power supply units that failed/degraded and replace those power supply units well before users complain that the target storage system is inaccessible.

Target of the test : An EMC Unity Storage System

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each power supply unit on the target storage system being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the storage system for which this test is to be configured.
UniSphere CLI Path	The eG agent uses the command-line utility, UEMCli.exe, which is part of the UniSphere 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 here.
Username and Password	Provide the credentials of a user possessing 'monitor' role to access the storage system in the Username and Password text boxes.
Confirm Password	Confirm the Password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.
Timeout	Specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which this test should time out in the Timeout text box. The default is 300 seconds.
Detailed Diagnosis	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.
