Verifying the health of the system

Before you expand a cluster, you must verify that all components of the cluster are healthy by running several ONTAP CLI commands.

Optional: Check the health of the system with the following commands:
  1. Verify that the cluster is in a healthy state by using the system health status show command and verifying that the Status is ok .

    Example

    cluster1::> system health status show
    Status
    ---------------
    ok
  2. Verify that all nodes in the cluster are in a healthy state by using the cluster show command and verifying that the Health of each node is true.

    Example

    cluster1::> cluster show
    Node                  Health  Eligibility
    --------------------- ------- ------------
    cluster1-1            true    true
    cluster1-2            true    true
