Oracle ZFS Cluster Test

The Oracle ZFS Storage System supports cooperative clustering of appliances. The clustering feature relies on shared access to storage resources.

This test monitors and reports the status of the nodes in the cluster by indicating whether the nodes are currently active/ in a stand- by mode/ unconfigured. This helps the administrator to find out how many nodes in this cluster are not in active state.

Target of the test : Oracle ZFS Storage System

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Oracle ZFS 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 target system that is being monitored.
Port	The port number through which Oracle ZFS Storage System communicates. The default port is 215.
User, Password and Confirm Password	By default, this test uses the REST API commands to pull out the required metrics. To execute the REST API commands, the eG agent requires the permission of a local administrator user who has been assigned with Basic role and a custom role with Analytics authorization and read permission. Specify the credentials of such a user in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes and confirm the Password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box. To create a new user with the required permissions, refer Creating a new user on Oracle ZFS Storage System.
Timeout	Specify the time duration for which this test should wait for a response from the storage system in the TIMEOUT text box. By default, this is 60 seconds.
