Clustered ONTAP Storage Admins' Health Checks

Here is a very rough and ready list of a few health-check type commands for the Clustered Data
ONTAP storage admin. Of course, with OnCommand Unified Manager, there shouldnt be much
of a need to run manual checks; still, its nice keep a list up your sleeve. Theyve been grouped
into type of object. Some of these commands will require going into advanced or diag privilege
level (set -privilege advanced/diag.)
Note: Some of these commands only work in Clustered ONTAP 8.2 or later.

Netapp Commands to be used for a daily health check

FAS01> vol status -f (or) aggr status -f
FAS01> environment chassis list-sensors
FAS01> vol status
FAS01> aggr status
FAS01> df -Ah
FAS01> df -h
FAS01> lun show offline
FAS01> sysconfig -a
FAS01> rdfile /etc/messages
FAS01>aggr show_space aggr0
FAS01> aggr status -s

Note: If you want to see old syslog messages, use following commands /etc/messages.0;
/etc/messages.1 etc.,

@@
filer> snapmirror status
filer> snapvault status

4. How to check for hardware configuration errors on Netapp:

The command "sysconfig -c" does a configuration check and reports errors if any.
filer> sysconfig -c
sysconfig: There are no configuration errors.

5. How to get overall status of the Netapp Chassis (head) :

The command "environment status chassis all" displays the power supply, fans , temperature sensor,
nvram status etc.
filer> environment status chassis all
Temperature ok
PSU 1 ok
PSU 2 ok
Voltage ok
SYS FAN ok
NVRAM6-temperature-3 ok
NVRAM6-battery-3 ok.
