isi_helathcheck command

I see there is a isi_healthcheck command in 8.1, but it's no where mentioned in cli guide or in support KB article

Anyone have idea what this command does, i tried running the command but not sure where to look for logs or output

-Thanks

I think you can use 'isi healthcheck' instead.   Refer to the command help and/or online manual isi-healthcheck(8) for more detail.

In general commands on Isilon with an underscore in them are un-documented and are for support/engineering use only. 

Some Examples:

  • isi_for_array (send commands to any number of nodes)
  • isi_radish (ask for data about a particular disk; this may be deprecated)
  • isi_vol_copy (NDMP-dump ingest from NetApp 7M)
  • isi_vol_copy_vnx (NDMP-dump ingest from a VNX/Celerra)

So I wouldn't expect it to be documented is my point.  If you want to run a health-check there are other ways of doing it, or you can usually ask support to assist under an active maintenance contract.  (just don't open it as a SEV1 SR)
