View System Status

You can view your Appliance Controller system's status to determine which of the following features are configured and running.

The system status command reports on the following features.

Feature

Description

snnas_controller

The state of the Appliance Controller.

The controller state should always be running.

ctdb

The state of the clustered trivial database (ctdb). This process manages the lock state for the SMB cluster.

  • If the Samba server daemon (smbd) is disabled or is not running within a NAS cluster, then the ctdb state is disabled.
  • If smbd is running within a NAS cluster, then the ctdb state is running.

smbd

The state of the smbd process.

  • The typical smbd state is running.
  • If the smbd process has been disabled (with the nas smb disable command), then the smbd state is disabled.

winbind

The state of the winbind binding process.

  • If local user-authentication is configured, then the winbind state is disabled.
  • If AD or LDAP user-authentication is configured, then the winbind state is running.

nfs

The state of the NFS server daemon process.

  • The typical nfs state is running.
  • If the nfs process has been disabled (with the nas nfs disable command), then the nfs state is disabled.

haproxy

The state of the haproxy process. This process is only applicable to a NAS cluster of Xcellis WFE or G300 gateways — it manages the load balancing between the cluster's nodes.

  • If the system is not part of a NAS cluster or if the node being checked is not the master node, then the haproxy state is disabled.
  • If the system is part of a NAS cluster and the node being checked is the master node, then the haproxy state is running.

keepalived

The state of the keepalived process. This process manages the VIP movement from one node to another during NAS failover.

  • If the system is not part of a NAS cluster, then the keepalived state is disabled.
  • If the system is part of a NAS cluster, then the keepalived state is running.

snmpd

The state of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) daemon process. See SNMP Monitoring for additional information.

  • The typical SNMP state is disabled.
  1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI.
