6.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference (TA768-96057, June 2012)

ibrix_health
Generates health reports for cluster components and X9000 clients.
Description
The ibrix_health command includes options specific to X9720/X9730 systems and other
options for file serving nodes and X9000 clients.
For X9720/X9730 systems, ibrix_health generates a detailed or summary health report for
storage, chassis, or servers registered to a chassis.
For file serving nodes and X9000 clients, ibrix_health runs a set of health checks on all hosts
or the specified hosts and reports the results. To constrain the report to show only hosts that failed,
include the -f option.
On both file serving nodes and X9000 clients, the check determines whether information maps on
the tested hosts are consistent with the configuration database.
Checks run on file serving nodes do the following:
• Ping remote file serving nodes that share a network with the test hosts but only if the test hosts
do not have an open connection to the remote servers. Remote servers that can be pinged
may not be connected to a test host because of a Linux or X9000 software problem. Remote
servers that cannot be pinged may be down or have a network problem.
• If test hosts are assigned to be network interface monitors, ping their monitored interfaces to
assess the health of the connection.
• Determine whether hosts can read their physical volumes.
Health checks are reported as Passed, Failed, or Warning:
• Passed: All tested hosts and standbys passed every health check.
• Failed: One or more tested hosts failed a health check. The health status of standbys for file
serving nodes is not included when this result is calculated.
• Warning: A suboptimal condition that may require attention was found on one or more tested
hosts or standbys.
The terms have the same meaning for individual file serving nodes and X9000 clients. A standby
for a file serving node is not considered when the result is determined for the node.
The basic (-l) report includes the following for each host: hostname, test result (passed/failed),
host type (server/client), state (up/down), and date of last update.
The detailed report consists of a summary report plus the following data: a summary of the test
results; host information such as operational state, performance data, and version data; non-default
host tunings; and the 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 Warned result.
You can expand a detailed report to also provide data about checks that received a Passed result,
as well as details about the file system and segments.
Synopsis
Perform health checks on file serving nodes or X9000 clients and provide a summary report of the
results:
ibrix_health -l [-h HOSTLIST] [-f] [-u] [-b] [-t SCRIPTNAMELIST]
The command is run on the specified file serving nodes and X9000 clients. The options are:
-h HOSTLIST: Runs health checks on the specified file serving nodes and X9000 clients.
-f: Reports only hosts that failed a test.
-u: Reports only hosts known to be up.
-b: Includes standbys for file serving nodes.
