Diagnostics tasks
The ACU Diagnostics feature replaced the Array Diagnostic Utility supported by SmartStart v8.20 and
earlier. Beginning with ACU v8.70.9, the diagnostics functionality within ACU has expanded and includes
the SmartSSD Wear Gauge.
ACU generates the following reports and logs:
•
Array diagnostic report
This report contains information about all devices, such as array controllers, storage enclosures, drive
cages, as well as logical, physical, and tape drives. For supported solid state drives, this report also
contains SmartSSD Wear Gauge information.
•
SmartSSD Wear Gauge report
This report contains information about the current usage level and remaining expected lifetime of solid
state drives attached to the system.
•
Serial output logs
This log details the serial output for the selected controller.
For each controller, or for all of them, you can select the following tasks:
•
View Diagnostic Report
•
Generate Diagnostic Report
•
View Serial Output Logs
•
View SmartSSD Wear Gauge Report
•
Generate SmartSSD Wear Gauge Report
For the view tasks, ACU generates and displays the report or log. For the generate tasks, ACU generates a
report without the graphical display.
For either task, you can save the report. In the SmartStart environment (G7 or earlier servers), you can save
the report to a formatted diskette or USB device. In online and offline environments, ACU saves the diagnostic
report to a compressed folder, which contains an XML report, a plain text report, and a viewer file so you can
display and navigate the report through a web browser.
Each ACU Diagnostics report contains a consolidated view of any error or warning conditions encountered.
It also provides detailed information for every storage device, including the following:
•
Device status
•
Configuration flags
•
Firmware version numbers
