These Test IDs start with value of ’0’ and would increase linearly for various sub-tests in a device

category.

Some tests may be applicable to all device instances in a particular device category. The

combination of <Device category, Test ID, Device Instance> would be unique

and shall provide capability to control, execute, and manage the test on a device instance in a

device category. With this mechanism, same test can be simultaneously started or triggered

on multiple device instances under that device category, thus providing parallel execution of

tests.

2.5 Device Instance

Hardware devices uniquely identified and recognized by the drivers and OS on the blade are

treated as device instances. A device instance can belong to a particular device category. Tests

can be invoked and executed on this device instance. OS and Driver support to access the

device is assumed to be readily available.

For example, device instances eth0, eth1, or eth2 are used to identify unique devices in

networking devices category. Device instances use the standard nomenclature already

defined by the OS (for instance Linux) on the blade.

A diagnostic test identified by triple < Device Category, Test ID, device

Instance> would be invoked (or) executed on the unique device instance.

The Enumerations mentioned below are used extensively in the context of InService

Monitoring.

2.6 Monitor ID

ViewCheck service monitors pre-identified parameters for hardware devices. These

parameters are Network Device counters, Network Device errors and so on. To periodically poll

and check these parameters, the ViewCheck service uses CLI and XML configuration. For each

parameter of interest, a Monitor ID is an enumerated constant that uniquely represents the

Monitoring entity. This value shall be used by the ViewCheck to control monitoring and also

while reporting events via XML on these monitors.
