SolidFire Cluster Workload Test
This test reports the processing ability of each of the target SolidFire cluster and the active iSCSI sessions and peak iSCSI sessions since midnight. This enables administrators to proactively detect a potential slowdown in processing or a probable slowdown of the cluster, identify whiy the cluster is behaving abnormally, and intervene to ensure that the problem is resolved before it spirals out of control.
Target of the test : A SolidFire Storage
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target SolidFire storage system being monitored.
