Sun StorEdge 1000 Enclosure Test (enctest)

enctest tests the Sun StorEdgetrademark A1000, D1000, and D2 disk enclosures. The A1000 and D1000 enclosures can support either 12 1" 4GB drives or 8 1.6" 9GB drives. The D2 disk enclosure can support 12 1" either 18GB or 36GB drives. These disk enclosures have redundant power and cooling. Following enclosure models are supported by enctest:

enctest can be used for validation, configuration verification, repair verification, and fault isolation of these models.

enctest sets the disk enclosure LEDs as follows:

TABLE 17-1 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.
