Measures reported by HBladeSWModuleTest
The Hitachi Compute Blade 500 contains four switch modules that are connected with the server blades through an onboard CNA or Mezzanine cards on the server blades. The switch modules control connectivity among the blades and also enable the Hitachi Compute Blade 500 to support flexible connectivity for cloud architectures including loseless Ethernet fabrics. If any of these switch modules fails or if the switch modules are kept under maintenance mode for longer duration, then, the switch modules become unavailable to use. This in turn, makes the connectivity among the blades down and also impacts the Ethernet connections established from the blades. To prevent this, administrators must proactively find out how healthy that each switch module is? whether the switch module is powered on or powered off? and is the switch module in the maintenance mode? The HBladeSWModuleTest test helps the administrators in this regard!
This test auto-discovers the switch modules in the Hitachi Compute Blade 500, and reports how healthy each switch module is, power status and maintenance mode of each switch module.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
