Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment>'s implementation of revision checking
checks the software, hardware, and firmware revisons of all the user-selected components.
Revision checking is based on an updatable matrix, which is generated
using the PatchPro database. The matrix provides distributed revision
checking across the system. Solaris versions and component firmware versions are verified against the matrix.
To run a revision checking report:
- Select a host from the pull-down list of hosts.
- Select a device from the list of modules.
- Click Run Revision Checking.
- Click "Display Report List".
When Revision Checking has completed its run, a date link appears in the
"Last Run" column.
The Health Check functionality verifies the health of physical Fibre
Channel links by extracting and comparing link status information from all
attached storage devices and switches, and then displaying error counters.
Use the Fibre Channel Counters functionality to retrieve a quick check
of the system's transient noise. Run the FC Counters Check only on an
idle system.
FC Check retrieves the Fibre Channel Read Link Status counter information
from the available devices. This counter information is stored while the
FC Check program begins the second pass. The second pass begins two minutes
after the first pass completes its run. The results of both passes are then
compared, and changes are displayed in the resulting table.
Note: FC Check does not validate connections. Use this functionality
only to test for transient noise on the physical FC connectors and
components. If a system exhibits excessive transient noise, it should be
checked for proper cable connections. Diagnostics should then be run on
the suspect components.
To run the Fibre Channel counters check, select a host from the
[Select Slave Host] menu and click [Start FC Check].
