Diagnosing a storage system

You can use the Diagnose Storage Systems wizard to verify the configuration for your storage system. You can also make necessary changes to some of the storage system properties and enable SnapMirror and SnapVault licenses from the diagnostics wizard.

Before you begin

When running the diagnostics wizard, it can be useful to have the following information available to verify for the storage system that you want to diagnose:
Note: The credentials of a vFiler unit always have a status of Not Applicable. This status for a vFiler unit does not indicate a problem.

You must be authorized to perform all the steps of this task; your RBAC administrator can confirm your authorization in advance.

Steps

  1. From the menu bar, click Hosts > Storage Systems.
  2. Click Diagnose to start the wizard, then verify or modify information as requested in the wizard.

    The diagnostics wizard checks the configuration of hosts.

  3. Verify that any changes that you made to your host configuration are displayed in the storage systems list in the Storage Systems Hosts window.

Result

If configuration changes are made to a host from an interface other than NetApp Management Console, you might need to use the Refresh button to pull those changes into the host list for viewing in the console.
