VNXe VMs Test

This test auto-discovers the virtual machines on the target storage system and for each virtual machine, reports the current health. Using this test, administrators may be alerted to virtual machines that failed/degraded and replace those virtual machines 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 VM on the target storage system being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters Description

Test Period

How often should the test be executed.

Host
