Introduction

This guide describes the isi commands that you can run in order to configure, monitor, and manage an Isilon IQ clustered
storage system and the individual nodes in a cluster.
Note: This initial version of the guide documents a subset of the isi commands.
The OneFS command-line interface extends the standard UNIX command set to include additional commands that enable you
to manage an Isilon cluster outside of the web administration interface or LCD panel. You can access the command-line
interface by opening a secure shell (SSH) connection on any node in the cluster.
Each isi command consists of a command name, any command options, and any sub-commands, in that order. This guide
lists the commands in alphabetical order and includes the following information for each command:

Description
Syntax
Supported options, if applicable
Supported sub-commands, if applicable
Examples

Document Conventions
This guide includes a syntax diagram for each command, using the following conventions.
Symbol

Description
Text that is not enclosed in square brackets [ ], angle brackets < >, or braces { } must be typed as shown.

[]

Square brackets indicate an optional element.

<>

Angle brackets indicate a placeholder for a value you must supply.

{}

Braces indicate a group of mutually exclusive elements that are delimited by vertical-bar (|) symbols.

A vertical bar indicates you can select only one of the options shown.

-- or -

A single or double hyphen indicates an option. Options define the specific action of a command or
modify the operation of a command. Many commands support multiple options.

isi devices

Displays information about the devices in a cluster or changes device states. This command is required when hot-swapping a
hard drive in a node.
Syntax
isi devices --device=[<LNN>][:<Drive>] [--action=status] [--grid]
isi devices --device=<LNN> --action=add [--timeout=<TimeLimit>]
isi devices --device=[<LNN>][:<Drive>] [--action=<Action>]
Options
--device=[<LNN>][:<Drive>], -d [<LNN>][:<Drive>]
Required. Specifies the node or drive on which to perform the action, where <LNN> is the logical
node number and <Drive> is either the logical drive number (lnum) or bay number. For example, a
cluster named "isilon" would typically have nodes named "isilon-1", "isilon-2", "isilon-3", and so on.
The "1", "2", and "3" identifiers are the logical node numbers.
If <LNN> is not specified, the current node is used by default. If <Drive> is not specified, the action
is applied to the entire node.
<Drive> specifies a logical drive number or bay number. The <Drive> is indicated by one of the
following entries:

lnum <Number> specifies a logical drive number.


[bay]<Number> specifies a bay number.

--action=<Action>, -a <Action>
If you do not specify an action, the system performs the status action by default. The following
table describes the valid actions that are available with the --action option.
Action

Scope

Description

status

Node or
drive

Default action. Displays the status of the specified device.

smartfail

Node or
drive

Runs the smartfail process on the specified device.

stopfail

Node or
drive

Runs the stopfail process on the specified device. Before you can
use this action, you must run the smartfail action on the device.
The stopfail action is not valid for nodes with a status of OK
or drives with a status of HEALTHY.

11

isi devices

Action

Scope

add

Node or
drive

Description
The add action accepts either a specified drive or an unconfigured
node's serial number as the device argument. (Serial numbers vary
in format. You can locate the node's serial number on the node
label.) If the device argument is a drive, running the add action
scans the drive, performs any required preparation, and then adds
the drive to OneFS, effectively reformatting the drive with the
OneFS data structures. For more information, see the description
of the --device option.
If the device argument is an unconfigured node's serial number, the
add action initiates the process of adding the specified node to the
cluster. Depending on the state of the unconfigured node, the add
process may reimage, patch, or reboot the unconfigured node before
adding it to the cluster.

discover

Node or
drive

The discover action takes no device argument. If you specify


the discover action, the system displays information about any
unconfigured nodes, including each node's serial number, hardware
type, OneFS version, and health status.
You can view and monitor the progress of the node being added by
specifying the discover action, which displays the failure status
and any relevant error messages. If the system returns an error during
the node-add process, the unconfigured node's status message
includes a description of the error.

confirm

Node or
drive

format

Drive

To acknowledge that an error has occurred during the add process,


and to make the unconfigured node available for further add
attempts, you can perform the confirm action, which requires a
node's serial number as the device argument.
The format action accepts only a logical drive number as the
device argument and initiates a OneFS format of the specified drive.
When the format is complete, the drive is automatically initialized
and available for use by OneFS.

! Caution: You can specify the format action only on a drive


that has been smartfailed or otherwise removed from the
system. If OneFS smartfails a faulty drive, do not reformat
that drive or force it back into service. The format action is
intended for use by an Isilon Technical Support representative
or in conjunction with instruction from a representative.

You can specify the discover, add, and confirm actions if you want access to new and
unconfigured nodes that are connected to the same internal switch or switches as the cluster.
Note: Depending on which action you specify, the system displays the status of each
drive in a node using one of the following terms:

12

EMPTY: Drive is empty.


NEW: Drive is new.
PREPARING: Drive is preparing for use.
HEALTHY: Drive is healthy.

2010 Isilon Systems, Inc.

isi devices

SMARTFAIL: Smartfail/restripe in progress.


REPLACE: Drive is not in use and is ready to be replaced.

--grid, -g
Displays the drives and bays in a grid format that corresponds to their physical layout in the chassis.
This option is used only with the status action.
--timeout=<TimeLimit>, -t <TimeLimit>
Sets a time limit that controls how much time the cluster will spend gathering version information
from all member nodes. This is valid only for the node add action. By default, no timeout limit is
configured.
--help, -h
Displays a list of supported options for this command.
Examples

To view the status of the drives on the third node in a cluster, run the following command:
isi devices --action=status --device=3
The system displays a list of devices and their status within the specified node, similar to the following example output:

Options
--name=<Target>:<LUN>, -n=<Target>:<LunNumber>
Required. Specifies the name of the logical unit. Valid names include the name of an existing target
that will contain the logical unit and a unique logical unit number (0-255) within the target, separated
by a colon (for example, mytarget:0).
--size=<Integer>[{B|MB|GB|TB}]
Required. Specifies the LUN's size (capacity). Valid sizes are 1MB-32TB. Valid units of measure are
B, MB, GB, or TB. The default unit of measure is B. Do not include a space between the integer and
the unit of measure (for example, 50MB). After you create a LUN, you can increase its size but you
cannot decrease it.
--comment=<QuotedString>
Specifies an optional comment for the logical unit. If the comment contains spaces, you must enclose
it in quotation marks.
--path=<AbsolutePath>
Specifies the absolute path, beginning at /ifs, to the default LUN directory. Example:

isi lun
Syntax
isi lun clone --name=<SourceTarget>:<LUN> --clone=<DestTarget>:<LUN>
[--type=<LUN-type>]
[--comment=<QuotedString>] [--path=<IFSDirectory>] [--access-pattern=<Pattern>]
[--online=<Boolean>] [--smart-cache=<Boolean>] [--read-only=<Boolean>]
Options
--name=<SourceTarget>:<LUN>
Required. Specifies the name of the source logical unit. Valid names include the name of the source
target where the logical unit is located and its logical unit number (LUN), separated by a colon (for
example, mytarget:0).
--clone=<DestTarget>:<LUN>
Required. Specifies a name for the clone logical unit. You must specify a different target, a new LUN,
or both. The LUN must be an integer in the range 0-255, and must be unique for the destination target.
--type=<LUN-type>
Specifies the LUN type (normal, snapshot, or shadow). The default LUN type is normal.
--comment=<QuotedString>
Modifies the description for the logical unit. If the comment contains spaces, it must be enclosed in
quotation marks.
--path=<IFSDirectory>
Specifies a default path, starting at the /ifs directory, where LUN directories will be created. This
setting overrides any default LUN directory paths that are configured for individual targets.
--access-pattern=<Pattern>, -l=<Pattern>
Specifies the I/O optimization settings for the logical unit. Valid values are random, streaming,
concurrency, and custom{1-5}. Custom settings are intended for Isilon Technical Support use.
By default, this setting is inherited from the source.
--online=<Boolean>
Sets the logical unit's state to online (1) or offline (0). The LUN is online by default.
--smart-cache=<Boolean>
Enables (1) or disables (0) SmartCache for the LUN. SmartCache can improve performance, but can
lead to data loss if a node loses power or crashes while uncommitted data is in the write cache. This
can cause inconsistencies in any file system that is laid out on the LUN, rendering the file system
unusable. By default, this setting is inherited from the source.
--read-only=<Boolean>
Specifies the write access setting for the LUN. Valid values are 1 for read-only or 0 for read/write.
--help, -h
Displays a list of supported options for this command.
Examples
To create a shadow clone LUN named mytarget:11 from a source LUN named mytarget:10, run the following
command:
isi lun clone --name=mytarget:10 --clone=mytarget:11 --type=shadow
To create a normal clone LUN named newtarget:0 from a source LUN named oldtarget:10, and specify a new
LUN directory path of /ifs/clones/, run the following command:
isi lun clone --name=oldtarget:10 --clone=newtarget:0 --type=normal

isi update

Updates a cluster to a newer version of the OneFS operating system.


After you run this command, the system displays the current status of each node.
Syntax
isi update [-d] [--rolling] [--manual] [--drain-time=<Duration>]
Options
-d
Prevents the system from performing chassis-connectivity checks on disk-only (storage expansion)
nodes.
--rolling
Enables rolling updates, which allow the cluster to remain available to clients during the update process.
In rolling update mode, the system reboots one node at a time. If a rolling update is interrupted before
the update is complete, you can run the update command to restart the rolling update. The update
system continues to update the cluster from the point at which the earlier update terminated. It will
not reload the image on any nodes on which an image has already been loaded, and it will do nothing
to any nodes that have already been updated.
Important: Rolling updates are not supported on all OneFS versions. Contact your Isilon
representative for information about the OneFS versions that support rolling updates.
--manual
Forces the rolling update process to pause and wait for user input before the system reboots each node.
--drain-time=<Duration>
Forces the update process to suspend a node from its SmartConnect pool, and then wait for clients to
disconnect or for the specified drain time to elapse before rebooting the node. By default, drain time
is specified in seconds. You can specify a different time unit by adding a letter to the end of the
command: m specifies minutes, h specifies hours, d specifies days, and w specifies weeks.
Examples
To update the cluster while preventing the system from performing chassis-connectivity checks on disk-only nodes, run the
following command:
isi update -d
