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_64

Press 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 localhost

Press 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 localhost

Press 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 --local

Press 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 /24
   

Press 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 ota

Press 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.
