WAAS alarm simulation

[Stan Volansky]

Hi team,

one theoretical question:

is there any way how to simulate (generate) the following WAAS alarms in the lab enviroments, please ?

•             Disk early-prediction failure

•             Disk failure

•             Cache disk full

•             Cache disk overloaded

•             TFO overloaded (TCP connection limit reached)

•             Alarm overload state

I believe that traffic generator will not help here as it cannot generate enough TCP sessions.

Many thanks!

Regards,

Stan

Hi Stan,

For the Disk Failure alarm, you can simply remove a disk from your appliance and it should trigger it.

The rest of them will be difficult to trigger at will.

For the TFO overloaded, a simple script that spawns telnet sessions through the WAAS should allow you to reach this state. To see how many you would need, you can have a look at the "sh tfo detail" output.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Nicolas
