Introduction
This checklist is designed to help you ensure that your Isilon cluster continues to
perform as designed and configured.
Depending on your workflow and physical environment, the frequency with which you
check the items listed in this document might vary from the recommendations in the
check list.
Note
You can check the temperature of a node and confirm other thresholds—for example,
voltage—by running the isi_hw_status command. For a list of the parameters you
can use with the isi_hw_status command, run the command with the -h
parameter.
You can check the temperature of all of the nodes in the cluster by running the
following command on any node:
isi_for_array isi_hw_status -t
Confirm the cluster has sufficient free space and that the file system is adequately
protected.
Confirm that the configured data protection levels are sufficient to protect
your data
Before you begin
Review the N + M data protection section of the Isilon OneFS: A Technical Overview
white paper.
Procedure
1. Monthly: Confirm that protection levels are set to the desired level.
2. Every six months: Reassess data protection levels to meet new requirements
as hardware and workflow configurations change.
3. After a node or drive is smartfailed, confirm that a FlexProtect job ran and
completed successfully.
4. If the cluster experiences a node outage or drive failure, confirm that the
cluster still meets the hardware requirements to maintain its configured
protection levels.
isi status -p -q
Confirm the status of configured Snapshot, SyncIQ, and NDMP jobs, and
of configured data replication policies
Procedure
1. Monthly: Confirm that configured Snapshots are created and deleted on
schedule.
2. Monthly: Confirm that configured SyncIQ jobs complete without error.
3. Monthly: Confirm that configured backup jobs begin and complete on
schedule and without error.
4. Monthly: Review configured data replication policies to ensure that they
continue to adequately protect your data as your workflow and environment
evolves.
isi status -D
2. Daily: Review used and free space for the cluster and each node. If the
cluster or a node has less free space available than expected, check each node
to determine whether any drives are not in a [HEALTHY] state.
l In the OneFS web administration interface, click the node ID number in the
Status section of the Cluster Status page.
l In the OneFS command-line interface, run the following command:
For information on configuring notification rules, see the Isilon OneFS Event
Reference.
Configure InsightIQ
InsightIQ provides tools to monitor and analyze historical data from Isilon clusters.
Procedure
1. Install, configure, and run InsightIQ.
For more information about installing and configuring InsightIQ, visit the
InsightIQ - Isilon Info Hub.
Configure InsightIQ 23
Monitor the Cluster
l Update the OneFS operating system, update drive and node firmware, and install
patches.............................................................................................................. 26
Upgrade OneFS
Isilon periodically releases new versions of OneFS and maintenance releases for
existing versions of OneFS. These releases include new features and resolve known
issues that might be relevant to you.
Before you begin
Review Current Isilon Software Releases.
Procedure
1. Every six months: Check for new releases that introduce new features that
could benefit your workflow.
Review the New features, Modifications and enhancements, and Resolved issues
sections in the OneFS Release Notes to determine whether your workflow
might benefit from an upgrade.
2. Every six months: Check for maintenance releases for your version of
OneFS.
Review the Modifications and enhancements and Resolved issues sections in the
OneFS Maintenance Release Notes to determine whether your workflow might
benefit from the changes introduced in a maintenance release.
Install patches
Check for patches that resolves issues that affect your workflow.
Procedure
1. Periodically check Isilon OneFS Current Patches for new patches that apply to
your system and are relevant to your workflow.
