Health Check Commands - Symcli

Question

Are there any basic commands to run from command line to check to make sure the array is operating normally. The only thing I do normally now is have scripts for checking to see if a hotspare is invoked with the 'symdev -hotspare list -sid xxx' Is there another command to check on other components as well other than the hard disk? Thanks in advance.

You can to use the next command:symevent [-h]symevent [-sid SymmID] [-v] [-warn | -error | -fatal]monitor [-i Interval] [-c Count]list [-start ] [-end ][-dir]

There are a lot of options, depending on the different aspects you want to check.

You can use symevent (with appropriate options to tailor output) and parse output .. You can use symcfg to show processor status. You can use symdev -service_state notnormal to find devices with broken mirrors .. As I said .. a lot of options.
