Monitoring the X9720 Network Storage System status
The X9720 storage monitoring function gathers X9720 system status information and generates
a monitoring report. The X9000 management console displays status information on the dashboard.
This section describes how to the use the CLI to view this information.
Monitoring intervals
The monitoring interval is set by default to 15 minutes (900 seconds). You can change the interval
setting by using the following command to change the <
interval_in_seconds
> variable:
ibrix_host_tune -C
vendorStorageHardwareMonitoringReportInterval=<interval_in_seconds>
NOTE:
The storage monitor will not run if the interval is set to less than 10 minutes.
Viewing storage monitoring output
Use the following command to view the status of the X9720 system:
ibrix_vs -i -n <storagename>
To obtain the storage name, run the
ibrix_vs -l
command. For example:
# ibrix_vs -l
NAME TYPE IP PROXYIP
----- ---- ---------- -------
x303s exds 172.16.1.1
Monitoring the status of file serving nodes
The dashboard on the management console GUI displays information about the operational status
of file serving nodes, including CPU, I/O, and network performance information.
To view status from the CLI, use the
ibrix_server -l
command. This command provides CPU,
I/O, and network performance information and indicates the operational state of the nodes, as
shown in the following sample output:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_server -l
SERVER_NAME STATE CPU(%) NET_IO(MB/s) DISK_IO(MB/s) BACKUP HA
----------- ------------ ------ ------------ ------------- ------ --
