VNXe SSDs Test

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

Target of the test : An EMC VNXe Storage system

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each SSD on the target storage system being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters	Description
