Dell EMC Metro node 7.1 Administrator Guide

PDF

Getting Started

The port-stats-monitor script can be used to identify the metro node ports which are observing problems. The metro node system may, or may not, be experiencing an issue due to the problems that the port-stats-monitor script is noting. However, it does indicate that there is a problem in the SAN that must be addressed before the metro node is impacted. These problems may, or may not, be specific to the metro node. Sometimes, it may be required to disable the problem ports that are identified by the script as having or seeing a problem until the SAN problem is located and addressed.

The FC port monitoring script has the following features:
  • Polls only metro node FC ports once a minute and will send an email to a configured email address if it detects a possible fabric issue.
  • Explicitly identifies the cluster, director, and port experiencing the fabric issue.
  • Reports on any degraded FC initiator-target pairs.
  • The thresholds in the script can be modified in the json configuration file.
  • Suppress error reports after 5 minutes, after which a summary email will be sent detailing the port error reports during the period where email were being suppressed.
NOTE: It is intended that support would work with the end user to deploy the monitoring script for setting up the port-stats-monitor script for the email server address and email list for those persons they want to receive the reports that the script will send out.

Example: port-monitor start [--email <email>,<email>,...]
