Environmental status information

Command for displaying environmental status

You use the environment command to display information about the filer environment. The exact types of information displayed depend on the command options.

For more information about the environment command, see the na_environment(1) man page.

Information provided by the environment command

The environment command displays the following types of information about the filer environment:

Shelf status and temperature
Filer component information
Filer temperature
Devices attached to the filer

You can query information about the following items:

Disk shelves
The filer backplane
The filer CPU
The filer power supply
The filer temperature

When the environment command is run

Data ONTAP runs the environment command under the following conditions:

Once every hour. In this case, no output is displayed or logged unless abnormal conditions exist.
Whenever an environment threshold in the filer is crossed.
When you enter the command from the command line.
You run this command manually to monitor the filer subsystems, especially when you suspect a problem and when reporting abnormal conditions to Network Appliance.

All environment information

The environment status command with no options displays all filer environment information.

Shelf environment status

The environment status shelf command displays the shelf environmental status for all shelves. The environment status shelf adapter command displays shelf information for shelves attached to a specific adapter.

Chassis environment status

The environment chassis command displays the environmental status of all chassis components.

Backplane environment status

The environment chassis backplane command displays the environmental status of the filer backplane.

CPU environment status

The environment chassis cpu command displays the environmental status of the filer CPUs.

Power environment status

The environment chassis power command displays the environmental status of the filer power supplies.

Temperature environment status

The environment chassis temp command displays the environmental status of the filer chassis temperature.

Command for monitoring UPS devices

The ups command allows the filer's environmental monitoring software to monitor Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices attached to the filer. When power loss is first detected from a UPS device, a syslog warning message and SNMP trap are issued. After a UPS device switches to battery power, subsequent syslog messages and SNMP traps are generated when there is less than five minutes of battery power left (warning state) and again when there is less than 1 minute of battery power left (critical state). When a filer enters the critical state, it automatically performs an orderly shutdown, before power is completely lost.

You can add UPS devices to be monitored, enable or disable monitoring of UPS devices, or display the status of UPS devices.

UPS status

The ups status command displays the status for all UPS devices.

Adding a UPS device to be monitored

To add a UPS device to be monitored by the filer's environmental monitoring software, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: ups add [ -c community ] IP address Use -c community if you want to specify the community for the UPS device. IP address is the IP address of the UPS device.

Enabling or disabling monitoring of UPS devices

To enable or disable monitoring of one or more UPS devices, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	*ups [ disable \| enable ] [ all \| IP address* ]** IP address is the IP address of a specific UPS device you want to disable or enable. Example The following command disables monitoring of all UPS devices. `ups disable all` Note The `ups enable all` command does not enable previously disabled UPS devices.

Step

Action

ups [ disable | enable ] [ all | IP address ]

IP address is the IP address of a specific UPS device you want to disable or enable.

Example

The following command disables monitoring of all UPS devices.

ups disable all

Note
The ups enable all command does not enable previously disabled UPS devices.
