Chapter 18 Sun StorEdge 1000 Enclosure Test (enctest)

enctest tests the Sun StorEdge^TM 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:

• Sun StorEdge A1000--Disk tray with the hardware RAID controller

• Sun 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 Sun StorEdge enclosures and displays the status of the various elements in the enclosure.

enctest sets the Sun StorEdge D1000 LEDs as follows:

Table 18-1 enctest Status LEDs

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

---

Note -

The ses driver must be present on the system with the Sun StorEdge enclosure(s). If the ses driver is not present, SunVTS will not detect the Sun 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. Noncritical conditions are reported through warning messages. The table below describes the information that is reported for each enclosure element.

Table 18-2 enctest Enclosure Status Report

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
