Verify the storage-system and high-availability
configuration
Check storage-system health
To determine if a storage system’s parts are operating correctly, use the Verify
Storage System wizard, which is part of the Navisphere Service Taskbar.
1. Start the Navisphere Service Taskbar.
2. In the taskbar, select the Hardware Maintenance tab.
3. In the tab’s navigation pane, select Verify Storage System, and follow the steps in
the wizard.
4. Enter the IP address or hostname of an SP in the storage system, and follow any
instructions.
5. Review the report that the wizard generates, and if it lists any problems try to
resolve them.
For problem-solving assistance, see the troubleshooting flowcharts for the CX3-series storage
systems on the Powerlink site.
Verify your high-availability configuration
Use the server high-availability feature in the Navisphere Server Utility to verify that
your configuration is highly available (each NIC/HBA has at least one active path to
each storage processor), and that path management software, such as PowerPath, is
installed and running.
On each server that you plan to connect to the storage system:
1. Start the Navisphere Server Utility from the CLARiiON Core Server Support CD.
2. Select Verify Server High-Availability to generate a report of the host’s
environment.
3. Review the generated report to confirm that your server configuration is highly
available.
