CHAPTER 11

StorEdge 1000 Enclosure Test (enctest)

enctest tests the StorEdge 1000 enclosures. The enclosure can support either 12 1" 4GB drives or 8 1.6" 9GB drives and have redundant power and cooling. Two enclosure models are available:

• StorEdge A1000 - Disk Tray with the hardware RAID controller
• StorEdge D1000 - Disk Tray without the hardware RAID controller.

enctest can be used for validation, configuration verification, repair verification, and fault isolation of both models.

The enctest probe detects all the connected StorEdge enclosures and displays the status of the various elements in the enclosure.

enctest sets the StorEdge D1000 LEDs as follows:

TABLE 11-1 enctest

LED State	Indicated Condition
On	Unrecoverable or critical condition
Blinking	Non-critical condition
Off	Informational or no condition to report

---

Note - NOTE: The ses driver must be present on the system with the StorEdge enclosure(s). If the ses driver is not present, SunVTS will not detect the StorEdge hardware. Use the following command to see if the ses driver is present: pkginfo SUNWses

Install the package if necessary.

---

enctest reports the status of the various elements in the enclosure. An error is registered if an unrecoverable or critical condition is detected. Non-critical conditions are reported through warning messages. TABLE 11-2 describes the information that is reported for each enclosure element.

TABLE 11-2 enctest

Enclosure Element	Information reported (per device slot)
Disk	Present/Not Present Failed/OK
Power supply	Present/Not Present Failed/OK
Fan	Present/Not Present Failed/OK
Temperature	OK/Over temperature
RPA cache Battery (StorEdge A1000 only)	OK/Low Charge

enctest Options

FIGURE 11-1 enctest

TABLE 11-3 enctest

enctest Options	Description
Display Enclosure Status	When enabled, the status of the enclosure elements are displayed as messages in the SunVTS console. These messages are also logged in the SunVTS info log file.
LED Test	When enabled, the LEDs associated with the disks are flashed for a short period of time.
Interval Between Passes	Sets the minimum delay between successive invocations of the test.

enctest Test Modes

TABLE 11-4 enctest

Test Mode	Description
Connectivity Mode	The enclosure status summary bits are read. Detailed information is reported only if an unrecoverable or critical condition is detected.
Functional Mode	When started through Symon, the LED test is not allowed and the "Display Enclosure Status" option is disabled by default. When started through the regular SunVTS GUI, all options are allowed.

enctest Command Line Syntax

/opt/SUNWvts/bin/enctest standard_arguments -o dev=device_name, disp=enable|disable, led=enable|disable, delay=delay_in_seconds

TABLE 11-5 enctest

Argument	Explanation
dev	This is the name of a ses device in the enclosure.
disp	Detailed status information regarding the enclosure elements will be displayed if enabled
