REMARQUE : In this release of the DR Series systems, you can use the Reason code information available in the
Mainenance mode to call Dell support. All maintenance must be conducted using the DR Series systems Command
Line Interface.
When in its Maintenance mode, the filesystem is in a read-only state, and the system runs the following maintenance-
based operations:
REMARQUE : Whenever the DR Series systems enters or exits from the Maintenance mode state, all
communication via CIFS, NFS, RDA, or OST is lost.
• Runs an internal filesystem check.
• Generates a filesystem status report (if the filesystem check finds no issues, the DR Series system switches
back to Operational mode without user intervention).
If the filesystem check finds issues, you can choose to make repairs (using Confirm Repair Filesystem) or ignore the
detected issue (using Skip Repair Filesystem), at which point the system switches back to Operational mode.
The Maintenance mode process displays a number of stages, indicated on the Maintenance Mode progress bar, which
include:
• Preparing for Filesystem Check
• Scan in Progress
• Completed Generating Report
REMARQUE : If the Filesystem Check detects any repairable files, it generates a Repair Report that
identifies these reported files. The Maintenance Mode progress bar halts at the Completed Generating
Repair stage, and remains in Maintenance mode until you click Confirm Repair Filesystem. The DR Series
system does not advance to the Switching to Operation Mode stage until the filesystem repair is
completed.
• Switching to Operational Mode
• Operational Mode (Normal State)
The Maintenance Mode page provides the following information:
• Maintenance Mode Progress bar:
– Displays the five stages of Maintenance mode
– Updates the progress bar as each stage completes
REMARQUE : If an alert displays above the Maintenance Mode progress bar, this indicates that the
filesystem check has completed, and it has generated a report on the repairable files (which are
displayed in the Repair Report pane under the Maintenance Mode progress bar). To repair all of
the reported files listed in the Repair Report, you must click Confirm Repair Filesystem.
• Repair Report:
– Displays a list of repairable filesystem files that were detected in the Filesystem Check.
– Identifies the repairable files by Container ID, File/Inode/Directory location, and a brief reason for
failure.
– Provides a search capability that allows you to click prev or next to display the previous or next page in
the Repair Report, or lets you display a specific page number of the Repair Report by entering this
number in the Goto page and click go.
