Symptoms

DTs are Directory tables and are an integral part of ECS. There are different types of DTs which are responsible for specific components across the ECS. Verify that we have full access to the buckets. 

The following xDoctor alert is reported when DTs are unready:

    Category = Partition
    Source   = Misc
    Severity = ERROR
    Message  = DT Initialization Status in Unready
    Extra    = DT=2304, Unready=155
    RAP      = RAP021

Cause

DTs are unready.

Resolution

DT unready messages may be seen after upgrades, reboots, or power-ups.
To verify all DT are ready, log in to your ECS over SSH and run:

# svc_dt check
# svc_dt check -ac

In the output, no DTs should be Unknown or unready:
