SGI IRIX

CXFS file

The management server can only monitor CXFS file systems from the

host

systems

host generating the input/output. For example, assume the elements

 

 

are part of a CXFS file system. When you generate input/out into the

 

 

metadata server into /folder, only the metadata server is able to

 

 

monitor the file system. For example, assume the metadata server

 

 

generates 100 KB write, the management server displays 0 KB write

 

 

for /folder on the metadata client.

 

 

See ”About the Data from CXFS File Systems” on page 295 for more

 

 

information.

 

 

 

Solaris host

Sun SAN

The bindings page reports a SCSI number that comes from the

 

Foundation

HBAAPI. This number cannot be seen by the user. For example SCSI

 

Suite driver

target 267008 does not correlate to anything.

 

(Leadville

 

 

driver)

 

 

 

 

Solaris host

HDLM

If you sync the Solaris host by itself without the switches and storage,

 

 

the storage volume page reports all drive types as local.

 

 

Once you discover the host with the switches and storage, it reports its

 

 

drives as being external. It was the same result with Active-Active and

 

 

Active-Standby.

 

 

 

Solaris host

HDLM

Solaris HDLM disks cannot be monitored. If you try monitoring them,

 

 

the management server displays a message saying “data is late or an

 

 

error occurred.”

 

 

 

Solaris host

HDLM

Do a Discovery Data Collection/Get Details for the host by itself. In

 

 

the bindings page, the controller number are displayed as c-1. For

 

 

example c-1t0d58.

 

 

Perform Discovery Data Collection/Get Details on the host with

 

 

storage and switches. The controller numbers are displayed correctly.
