8 Monitoring cluster operations
Monitoring the status of file serving nodes
The dashboard on the management console GUI displays information about the operational status of
file serving nodes, including CPU, I/O, and network performance information.
To view status from the CLI, use the ibrix_server -l command. This command provides CPU,
I/O, and network performance information and indicates the operational state of the nodes, as shown
in the following sample output:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_server -l
SERVER_NAME STATE CPU(%) NET_IO(MB/s) DISK_IO(MB/s) BACKUP HA
----------- ------------ ------ ------------ ------------- ------ --
node1 Up, HBAsDown 0 0.00 0.00 off
node2 Up, HBAsDown 0 0.00 0.00 off
File serving nodes can be in one of three operational states: Normal, Alert, or Error. These states are
further broken down into categories that are mostly related to the failover status of the node. The
following table describes the states.
DescriptionState
Up: Operational.
Normal
Up-Alert: Server has encountered a condition that has been logged. An event will appear in the
Status tab of the management console GUI, and an email notification may be sent.
Up-InFailover: Server is powered on and visible to the management console, and the management
console is failing over the server’s segments to a standby server.
Up-FailedOver: Server is powered on and visible to the management console, and failover is
complete.
Alert
Down-InFailover: Server is powered down or inaccessible to the management console, and the
management console is failing over the server's segments to a standby server.
Down-FailedOver: Server is powered down or inaccessible to the management console, and
failover is complete.
Down: Server is powered down or inaccessible to the management console, and no standby
server is providing access to the server’s segments.
Error
The STATE field also reports the status of monitored NICs and HBAs. If you have multiple HBAs and
NICs and some of them are down, the state will be reported as HBAsDown or NicsDown.
Monitoring cluster events
X9000 Software events are assigned to one of the following categories, based on the level of severity:
