Measures reported by HBladeSWModLEDTest

The Hitachi Compute Blade 500 contains four switch modules. Each switch module comprises of a power LED, a status LED and an identify LED. These LEDs visually notify the administrators to various power state changes, alarms, status updates and location of the switch modules. With these visual notifications, administrators can easily find out health of the switch module. In addition, the occurrence of failures and anomalies inside the switch modules are notified by the LEDs. If any of these LEDs fails due to physical damage, fuse failures or abrupt voltage fluctuations, then, the administrators will be deprived of visual notifications. This will leave the administrators unaware of the state changes and issues in the switch modules at the earlier stage and thus causing serious problems to the switch modules. Therefore, it is imperative that health of the LEDs should be closely monitored to figure out abnormalities (if any). The HBladeSWModLEDTest test aids the administrators in this exercise!

This test reveals current status of each LED on the switch module and colors illuminated by the LEDs for notifying various events.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Led_Status Indicates the current status of this LED.   The values that this measure can report and the numeric values they indicate have been listed in the table below:

State Numeric Value
Turn Off 1
Turn On 2
Unknown 3
Blink 4
Blink Fast 5
Blink Slow 6

Note:

By default, this measure can report the Measure Values mentioned above while indicating the current status of each LED in the switch module. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents.
Led_color Indicates the color emitted by this LED.   The values that this measure can report and the color they illuminate have been listed in the table below:

Color Numeric Value
Blue 1
Green 2
Red 3
Amber 4
Unknown 0

Note:

By default, this measure can report the Colors mentioned above while indicating the color of this LED. However, the graph of this measure is indicated using the numeric equivalents.
