PowerScale OneFS Upgrade Planning and Process Guide

Verify operational status using the CLI

You can run a series of CLI commands as root to help verify that the PowerScale cluster is working correctly after an upgrade.

1. Check the new version number of the cluster:

   isi_for_array -s uname -a

2. View the status of the cluster and ensure all the nodes are operational:

   isi status

3. Check the devices in the nodes to validate the status of the drives:

   isi_for_array -s "isi devices list"

4. Check the status of jobs and resume any paused jobs:

   isi job status

   isi job jobs resume <jobID>

5. Review the list of events, and address any critical events:

   isi event groups list --sort=severity

6. To verify network connectivity and SmartConnect functionality, ping all internal and external interfaces on the cluster.
7. Verify the network interfaces:

   isi network interfaces list

8. Verify the subnets:

   isi network subnets list --verbose

9. Verify the pools:

   isi network pools list --verbose

10. To check for issues, review the log files on the cluster:

    isi_upgrade_logs

    cat /var/log/messages

11. Check the input and output:

    isi statistics system

12. Check the global SMB settings:

    isi smb settings global view

13. Check the status of the node firmware to ensure it is consistent across nodes:
    For OneFS 9.0.0 and later:

     isi_upgrade_logs --get-fw-report

    For OneFS 8.2.2 and earlier:

    isi upgrade firmware devices

14. Ensure that all the licenses carried over and remain up to date:

    isi license licenses list

15. Check the status of the authentication providers to ensure that they remain active:

    isi auth status --verbose

16. Review the list of SyncIQ jobs:

    isi sync jobs list

17. Check the SyncIQ job reports:

    isi sync reports list

18. Review the list of the scheduled snapshots:

    isi snapshot schedules list

19. If you use SupportAssist or SRS, confirm that the service is reenabled.
