Monitoring extensible storage locations (Linux)
Linux DS-Systems cannot automatically detect if a storage location is mounted. You must configure the DS-System to monitor the mount points of the storage locations. Once configured, the DS-System will perform the check every 5 minutes.
• If the DS-System detects a storage issue when monitoring an extensible storage location, it stops all current activities and interrupts all connections to the DS-System storage.
• For the first inaccessible mount point detected, a notification is sent to the email address configured in the
Administrator Notification settings. For more information, see
“Configuring the notification settings”.
• The DS-System remains in a frozen state and checks if the storage locations are accessible every 2 minutes.
• When all storage locations are accessible, the DS-System automatically reverts to its normal state and accepts incoming connections.
To monitor extensible storage locations on a Linux DS-System:
1. On the Setup menu, point to Storage, and then click Mount-point Monitor.
2. Select the check box beside each mount point that you want to monitor.
NOTE: You must monitor all mount points used as storage locations. The first mount point listed is the root folder of the DS-System computer.
3. Click OK.
