• View events by type:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -q [-e ALERT|WARN|INFO]
• View generated events on a last-in, first-out basis:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -l
• View adesignated number of events. The command displays the 100 most recent messages by
default. Use the -n EVENTS_COUNT option to increase or decrease the number of events displayed.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -l [-n EVENTS_COUNT]
The following command displays the 25 most recent events:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -l -n 25
Removing events from the events database table
The ibrix_event -p command removes events from the events table, starting with the oldest events.
The default is to remove the oldest seven days of events. To change the number of days, include the
-o DAYS_COUNT option.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -p [-o DAYS_COUNT]
Monitoring cluster health
To monitor the functional health of file serving nodes and X9000 clients, execute the ibrix_health
command. This command checks host performance in several functional areas and provides either a
summary or a detailed report of the results.
Health checks
The ibrix_health command runs these health checks on file serving nodes:
• 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 37.)
• 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.
