5.5 HP StorageWorks X9300 Network Storage Gateway Administrator Guide (AW539-96007, March 2011)

• Pings remote file serving nodes that share a network with the test hosts. Remote servers that are
pingable might not be connected to a test host because of a Linux or X9000 Software issue. Remote
servers that are not pingable might be down or have a network problem.
• If test hosts are assigned to be network interface monitors, pings their monitored interfaces to assess
the health of the connection. (For information on network interface monitoring, see “Using network
interface monitoring” on page 31.)
• Determines whether specified hosts can read their physical volumes.
The ibrix_health command runs this health check on both file serving nodes and X9000 clients:
• Determines whether information maps on the tested hosts are consistent with the configuration
database.
If you include the -b option, the command also checks the health of standby servers (if configured).
Health check reports
The summary report provides an overall health check result for all tested file serving nodes and X9000
clients, followed by individual results. If you include the -b option, the standby servers for all tested
file serving nodes are included when the overall result is determined. The results will be one of the
following:
• Passed. All tested hosts and standby servers passed every health check.
• Failed. One or more tested hosts failed a health check. The health status of standby servers is not
included when this result is calculated.
• Warning. A suboptimal condition that might require your attention was found on one or more
tested hosts or standby servers.
The detailed report consists of the summary report and the following additional data:
• Summary of the test results
• Host information such as operational state, performance data, and version data
• Nondefault host tunings
• Results of the health checks
By default, the Result Information field in a detailed report provides data only for health checks that
received a Failed or a Warning result. Optionally, you can expand a detailed report to provide data
about checks that received a Passed result, as well as details about the file system and segments.
Viewing a summary health report
To view a summary health report, use the ibrix_health -l command:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_health -l [-h HOSTLIST] [-f] [-b]
By default, the command reports on all hosts. To view specific hosts, include the -h HOSTLIST
argument. To view results only for hosts that failed the check, include the -f argument. To include
standby servers in the health check, include the -b argument.
For example, to view a summary report for node i080 and client lab13-116:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_health -l -h i080,lab13-116
Sample output follows:
