Morning Checks

Hello

 

I'm new to the forum.

I am going through the cli user guide to find out what commands I can run every morning to get a comprehensive output for cluster/node health.

I came across this isi status; isi alert.

I want to build a small portfolio of commands and was wondering if anyone out there more experienced can share some of their work habits or knowledge?

Mazaffar,

In addition to those commands I also look at the output of these commands:

Notice how bay 9 has disk that is in "Replace" state. That disk was pro-actively smartfailed by the cluster and now is ready to be physically replaced with a new drive. Unfortunately we have had a couple of instances where the cluster did not dial-home so DellEMC support did not dispatch anyone to replace the drive.  So that's why we have scripts in place that monitor for these type of failures.

On Generation 5 nodes we also used to monitor internal drives for wear. Here is a great article that explains that topic

Hopefully it helps

as it seems there is a healthcheck process defined ? Is this in addition to this, in which case should not emc be aware their healthcheck process has gaps ?
