Default Parameters for VmgOSMemoryTest

This test tracks critical metrics corresponding to the System PTEs and the pool areas of kernel memory of each Windows virtual guest of a host operating system.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

  • Specify the domain within which the virtual guests reside in the DOMAIN text box. Since the Solaris LDoms server supports only Solaris and Linux guests, this parameter should always be set to none.

  • This test connects to each virtual guest and collects status and resource usage statistics from the guest. In order to do so, the test must be configured with user privileges that allow a remote connection to the virtual guest from the Solaris host. If a single user has access to all the guest domains on the Solaris server, specify the name of that user against ADMIN USER, and specify his password against ADMIN PASSWORD. On the other hand, if the user credentials vary from one guest to another, then multiple ADMIN USERs and ADMIN PASSWORDs might have to be specified for every Solaris LDoms server being monitored. To help administrators provide these user details quickly and easily, the eG administrative interface embeds a special configuration page. To access this page, simply click on the Click here hyperlink that appears just above the parameters of this test in the test configuration page.

  • The password of the ADMIN USER needs to be provided in the ADMIN PASSWORD.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD tex box.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.
