HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User Guide (AH809-96049, September 2010)

NOTE:
During a job, one cartridge per storage pool involved in the job is created to support the background
process. This cartridge can be found under the VLS cartridge list prefixed with “StorageExerciser_.”
You can only start one Background job at a time.
You must have at least 5 GB of free space on your VLS in order to run a Background job. If less than
5 GB is available, the Background job will fail.
The status table displays:
• Start Time — the date and time the job began.
• End Time — the date and time the job ended.
• Current Iteration — the number of the current iteration of the read/write process.
• Failed Iterations — the number of iterations that failed due to decompression error or other error.
• Data Written — the amount of data in bytes that has been written for all iterations combined.
• Data Read — the amount of data in bytes that has been read for all iterations combined.
• Status — the state of the jobs can be In Progress, Cancelling, Cancelled, Complete, or Complete
with Errors.
The Complete with Errors status signifies that one or more read operations failed; this may mean
the job uncovered a disk error. If a disk error has occurred, view the Log Monitor Summary.
To delete jobs from the status table, check the jobs in the Select column, and then select Delete Selected.
Log Monitor Summary
The Log Monitor Summary displays decompression error details. You may sort the table by selecting
a column header. You may delete errors by selecting the rows and then selecting Delete Selected.
When enclosure and/or IP address calculations are pending, select Refresh to refresh the information
in the table. Refresh Array Info updates cached array information on the server. Use this if you make
architectural changes such as adding arrays to the VLS.
The log monitor table displays:
• Time — the date and time the decompression error was logged in the system log.
• SDev Number — the Set Device number logged in the decompression error.
• LBA — Logical Block Address, representing the hex value of the logical location of the error in the
RAID set.
• Offset — the distance in Hex from the beginning of the LBA, to the occurrence of the decompression
error.
• Length — the length in Hex of the decompression error.
Log File Fields
The log file is a comma-separated values (CSV) file-format. The data fields are separated by commas
or columns depending on the program used to view the file.
Test summaries are logged at the beginning and end of a test. The data fields are in order as follows:
• Test_summary — indicates that this row of data is the test summary information
• Test summary ID
• Date of the test
