Thermal Flash and Monitoring Thermal Condition report is a tool to report the temperature level at which the Nytro Flash module is operating. This is essential to identify whether the increase or endangers the operation of the flash module. The operational temperature can be read through the SATA SMART command from the Nytro Flash module. Nytro Flash module on the Nytro MegaRAID controller responds to the SMART data of the operating temperature level. The temperature report is initiated by the application through an IOCTL to the firmware. Firmware also generates an event to the administrative application when the temperature level goes above or below the operating temperature range provided as the default configuration parameter, and the application can choose to get the report on getting this event. The Flash Monitor report feature reports the wear-leveling or life curve status of the Nytro Flash module. The application can receive the report through an IOCTL. Firmware also generates an event to the administrative application when the life-curve status goes below the configured level, and the application can choose to get the report on getting this event.The Life Curve Status SMART attribute indicates the current throttling status of Nytro Flash module operation based on the life curve. The life curve for an Nytro Flash module is a program-erase (PE) usage schedule calculated based on the warranty period of the drive. It is basically a straight line that plots the number of PE cycle credits remaining over the lifetime or warranty period of the drive, assuming a constant PE cycle rate. There are two thresholds: warning and error. Based on the current state of the Nytro Flash module, the reported values also indicate its status. The possible values are: optimal, warning, and critical. Whenever the current values cross these limits, the controller firmware sends out for SSD life left an event indicating the status.
