Health Reporting Command

The -health command shows the overall health status of a selected card and its components. If any alert exists, this command shows the component that is causing the alert, along with further information. Use the -health command to verify firmware versions before and after firmware updates.

Text Menu Interface Usage: The following top-level menu lists the cards in the system and prompts you to select a card on which to perform an operation. Two Sun Flash Accelerator F40 PCIe Cards are shown in the following example:

# ddcli
