In-Depth Information
Validation is part of the OAK command set and can be accessed through the
oakcli validate
command.
There are multiple parts of
oakcli validate
, and we will look at them in detail. To see what
oakcli validate
provides,
we can look at the help first.
[root@oda1 bin]# ./oakcli validate -h
Usage:
oakcli validate [-V | -l | -h]
oakcli validate [-v] [-f absolute output_file_name] [-a | -d | -c check1[,check2]]
ARGUMENTS:
-v verbose output
-f output_file_name.The output is sent to the file instead of
standard output
-a run all checks
-d run only default checks.
-c check1[,check2] run specific checks
-l list the checks and description
-V Print the Version
-h print help
EXAMPLES:
oakcli validate -l
oakcli validate -a
oakcli validate -c DiskCalibration
oakcli validate -c SystemComponents,NetworkComponents,asr
The OAK validate checks depend on the version of the software that is installed. ODA 2.6 added Automatic
Service Request (ASR) validation to ensure that ASR is installed and configured in the appropriate manner. Executing
a
validate
command without any options will result in the following checks being made:
System components
•
•
OS disk storage
•
Shared storage
•
Network components
•
Disk calibration and ASR (new in 2.6) are not executed by default. The storage topology step (#5) validates the
shared disk array and the optional storage shelf that was introduced with ODA X3-2. That step will be executed by
default on the ODA X3-2 platform only.
Listing 7-1 shows a brief description of the ODA V1 validate commands that are available as of OAK 2.6.
