Monitor for drives in SMARTFAIL for too long

Issue, job to re-protect the data didn't run, caught it before it caused an issue.

Would like to monitor drives that don't move from SMARTFAIL to REPLACE status, as I understand that means the data has been re-protected to your selected protection level.

 

I can read the status of every drive from RESTapi. However, from a single poll action I don't know how long the drive has been in SMARTFAIL status. A few hours or days for the reprotect job to run(I think it's the FlexProtect job that is triggered by this?)

 

Is there an easier way to determin that a drive in SMARTFAIL is not being re-protected in a timely manner?

Hi,

Thanks for your question about smartfail. I am not aware of a command that shows the amount of time that a drive has been in smartfail status. What version of Onefs are you on? It is also possible that it did protect the drive but didn’t update the status properly. https://dell.to/3Op3dWV

 

 

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hello Techienet, please run these commands to check the smartfail process on node involved

#isi job status and check if flexProtect or FlexProtectLin ran and then run 

#isi job view

here you can see what happened with the disks

this other command is more puntual

#isi job reports list --job-type=FlexProtect

#isi job reports list --job-type=FlexProtectLin

Again after you can check the #isi job vie

another important thing if after run #isi devices drive list you see your disk in REPLACE status your data has been protected and then you can replace that disk

 

Cheers
