Running Diagnostics
Running diagnostics helps you detect problems with the FluidFS cluster. The diagnostic options available for the FluidFS cluster are:
• FluidFS diagnostics: Used to diagnose software issues.
• Embedded system diagnostics: Used to diagnose hardware issues.
Run FluidFS Diagnostics on a FluidFS Cluster
FluidFS diagnostics can be run while the FluidFS cluster is online and serving data.
About this task
The following FluidFS diagnostic options are available:
• Client Connectivity Diagnostic: Tracks a specic client’s attempt to connect to the FluidFS cluster. Once the diagnostic is
running, ask the client to reattempt the connection.
• File Accessibility Diagnostic: Tracks a specic client’s attempt to access a le. Once the diagnostic is running, ask the client to
reattempt le access.
• File System Diagnostic: Collects information on the core le system activities, resource consumption, and status. If a problem
occurs only during a specic activity, repeat that activity once the diagnostic is running.
• General System Diagnostic: Collects general information about the FluidFS cluster status and settings.
• Network Diagnostic: Collects network information and tracks a specic client’s attempt to connect to the FluidFS cluster. Once
the diagnostic is running, ask the client to reattempt the connection.
• Performance Diagnostic: Monitors the FluidFS cluster performance while running a basic benchmark and collecting statistics. If
possible, run this diagnostic when activity on the FluidFS cluster is minimal.
• Protocols Log Diagnostic: Collects information for SMB and NFS protocol activities, resources, and status. If a problem occurs
only during a specic activity, repeat that activity once the diagnostic is running.
On completion of the diagnostics, the compressed archive of the diagnostic result les are available from the FluidFS cluster FTP
server at:
ftp://<FluidFS_administrator_user_name>@<client_VIP_or_cluster name>:44421/diagnostics/
archive/<diagnostic_name>
The diagnostic les can also be sent to a NAS volume location. They can then be collected via an SMB share or NFS export.
