Instructions

Background

Occasionally new issues are found following the release of a PowerStoreOS which are not detected by the OS's integrated health checks and alerts features. The Heath Check thin package feature is used to deliver new health checks to an installed PowerStoreOS.

The Health check package contains health checks that are performed prior to a Non-Disruptive Upgrade (NDU). The package also includes general system health checks that are invoked, on demand, from the PowerStore Manager (Monitoring > System Checks > Run System Check).

The health check package must be uploaded to the PowerStore cluster and then installed.

IMPORTANT
For detailed instructions on installing and using the health check package, see one of these KB articles:
