→ Applies to: SynetoOS 4.x

 

Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. Change into Solaris shell (in case you're directed to an unsupported shell)

un sh

 

Step 3. Get root privileges

sudo su -

 

Step 4. Download the tool sbrc.pkg

wget -P /tmp https://storage.googleapis.com/syneto_public_files/downloads/Various/sbrc.pkg

SBRC checks whether sas3ircu is installed. If it is present, it runs the command to retrieve the controller status. If it is not installed, SBRC installs the tool on the system via a VIB and then executes the same check.

 

Step 5. Install the tool

pkgadd -d /tmp/sbrc.pkg

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

@NEWFVSSYN0S03:/root# pkgadd -d /tmp/sbrc.pkg

The following packages are available:
1 sbrc Syneto boot raid check and reporting (amd64) release 1.0

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

 

Press ENTER to exit

 

Step 6. Add sbrc to crontab (replace <x> with the desired frequency)

sbrc -cron <x>

EXAMPLE

sbrc -cron 4h

Successfully added to crontab.

 

Step 7. Run the tool to check volume health

sbrc

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

@NEWFVSSYNOS03:/root# sbrc
Volume is OK
