Diagnostic tools

This topic provides an overview of the tools available to diagnose problems with the SAN File System and its components.

You have several tools available to you when you attempt to diagnose problems with SAN File System components:
  • Server. The SAN File System provides logs that you can use to view information about the metadata server and the administrative server. You can access these logs directly from the engine hosting a server or view a consolidated version of the logs through either the administrative command-line interface or SAN File System console.

    You can also use SAN File System tools as well as operating system tools to generate and analyze traces and dumps.

  • Client. From a SAN File System client, you can use SAN File System commands and operating system commands to view, capture, and analyze log and trace data, as well as system dumps.
