      Troubleshooting NetApp agents

Sample configuration

In the following example, the NIC agent is configured to monitor the adapter with MAC address 00-B0-D0-31-7D-FA. The UseConnectionStatus attribute is set to False. The agent sends a ping to the hosts listed in the PingHostList attribute to determine the status of the NIC resource. If the percentage of erroneous packets transmitted exceeds 30 percent for three consecutive monitoring intervals, the NIC resource is marked FAULTED.

NIC NIC_RL20001 (
    MACAddress = "00-B0-D0-31-7D-FA"
    PingTimeOutMseconds = 500
    MaxTxErrorPercentage = 30
    MaxTxErrInterval = 3
    UseConnectionStatus = False
    PingHostList = { "172.16.1.19", "172.16.1.21" }
)
