Availability
Available with IBM Storage Scale System.
Description
The SSR Tools menu allows users to check ESS for proper hardware installation, system configuration, and SAS connectivity. Using this menu item, users can perform the basic validation of the system once it arrives from manufacturing.Menu options
- 1. Help
- Opens this manual page.
- 2. Check and validate various install parameters
- Performs check of various installation parameters. Address items identified as WARN or ERROR.
Some parameters can not be checked until the system is fully deployed. For more information, see
essinstallcheck command.
essinstallcheck -N ems1,ess_x86_64Press c to change the EMS host name and I/O server nodes group name or I/O server node host name.
- 3. Quick storage configuration check
- Performs a brief check of installed adapters and connected disks in the system. For more
information, see essstoragequickcheck command.
essstoragequickcheck -N localhostPress c to change the EMS host name and I/O server nodes group name or I/O server node host name.
- 4. Check enclosure cabling and paths to disks
- Performs storage cable connection and topology check. This test is meaningful when run on I/O
server nodes. For more information, see essfindmissingdisks command.
essfindmissingdisks -N localhostPress c to change the EMS host name and I/O server nodes group name or I/O server node host name.
- 5. Check disks for IO operations
- Performs I/O operations to the attached disks. This test should only be run in a test
environment. The node name must match the host name of the node. For more information, see
esscheckdisks command.
ESSENV=INSTALL esscheckdisks --enclosure-list all --iotest a --write-enable --localPress c to change the EMS host name and I/O server nodes group name or I/O server node host name.
- 6. Check the memory configuration
- Checks for a valid memory configuration within the
canister.
ess3kplt -t memory - 7. Check the CPU configuration
- Checks for a valid CPU configuration within the canister.
ess3kplt -t cpu - 8. Assign IP address to Interface
- Assigns IP address to the provided
interface.
essgennetworks -N localhost --interface enP3p9s0f0 --assignip 198.51.100.20 --netmask /24Press c to customize the command options. Change IP address as needed.
- 9. Ping tests
- Pings all nodes in the node list. For more information, see essruntask command.
essruntask -N 198.51.100.10 --task ping --mode otaPress c to change the EMS host name and I/O server nodes group name or I/O server node host name.
- 10. Back
- Exit to the previous menu.
Exit status
- 0
- Successful completion.
- nonzero
- A failure has occurred.
