This section describes the procedure for verifying the configuration by using a REST API/CLI to obtain a summary of storage cluster configuration information.
- Start a terminal in the controller node.
-
Change the password of the user created in the "ServiceAdministrators" user
group, according to the procedure described in Creating an
initial user. The parameters and values required to change the password
are as follows:
-
userId: ID of the user created in the "ServiceAdministrators" user group
-
currentPassword: Password used when the user was created
-
newPassword: New password
REST API: PATCH /v1/objects/users/<userId>/password
CLI: user_password_set
In the following steps, use the same credentials as in step 2.
-
-
Obtain a list of event logs and verify that startup of the storage cluster is
completed before confirming configuration.
REST API: GET /v1/objects/event-logs
CLI: event_log_list
If the KARS08100-I message has been output to the event log, startup of the storage cluster is completed. Perform the following procedures to confirm each configuration.
-
Obtain a summary of the storage cluster configuration information to verify the
configuration.
REST API: GET /v1/objects/storage-configuration-summary
CLI: storage_configuration_summary_show
Verify the obtained information to make sure of the following.
Item
Obtained information
Verification
storage
Value of softwareVersion from which dots (.) are excluded
This value is the same as the <version> value of the storage software installer file (hsds-installer-vssb-<version>-<number>.iso) that is used in Installing the storage software.
status
The status value is "Ready."
internalId
If you make multiple configurations of VSP One SDS Block, each internalId must be different.1
storageTimeSetting
systemTime
The systemTime value is the same as the time of the NTP server.
faultDomains
status
The status value is "Normal."
numberOfStorageNodes
Meet all of the following:
- All faultDomain objects have the same value
- The sum of the values is equal to the number of storageNode objects obtained simultaneously
storageControllers
status
The status value is "Normal."
storageNodes
Number of storageNode objects
The number of objects and the number of lines in the [Nodes] section of the VSSB configuration file are the same.
status
The status value is "Ready."
memory
The value is the same as the memory capacity installed in each storage node.
biosUuid
For verification in troubleshooting, record the biosUuid values of the storage nodes for which the clusterRole value is "Master."
controlPorts
status
The status value is "Normal."
isTeamingEnabled
Teaming configuration is made as expected.
teaming: primaryPortSpeedDuplex
Both the link speed and duplex setting have expected values.
teaming: secondaryPortSpeedDuplex
Both the link speed and duplex setting have expected values.
internodePorts
status
The status value is "Normal."
teaming: primaryPortSpeedDuplex
Both the link speed and duplex setting have expected values.
teaming: secondaryPortSpeedDuplex
Both the link speed and duplex setting have expected values.
ports
protocol
The protocol is as expected.
status
The status value is "Normal."
macAddress2,3
Verification is required only when the iSCSI or NVMe/TCP protocol is used.
(For Hitachi Advanced Server HA800 series, HA800 G2 series, HA800 G3 series, and HA800 G6 series) After you select System Information in the navigation tree of the iLO web interface window, this value must be the same as the compute port MAC address in Network.
(For physical servers other than Hitachi Advanced Server HA800 series, HA800 G2 series, HA800 G3 series, and HA800 G6 series) This value must be the same as the compute port MAC address confirmed in the BMC web interface window.
pools
status
The status value is "Normal."
drives
Number of drive objects
The number must be the same as that of drives added to the storage node.
statusSummary
The statusSummary value is "Normal."
1. If the internalId value is duplicated in any other VSP One SDS Block, perform the operation described in Removing the storage software in the VSP One SDS Block and SDS Cloud System Administration. Then, perform the operation again from Installing the storage software.
2. Verify this address if you configured ports in the Network port configuration window.
3. (For physical servers other than Hitachi Advanced Server HA800 series, HA800 G2 series, HA800 G3 series, and HA800 G6 series) For details about specific procedures, see the respective server vendor documentation.
