The isi alerts command provides access to active and historical alerts on the
cluster, and the ability to quiet, unquiet, or cancel any active alerts. To perform
one of the actions, specify the command followed by one or more alert ids or all.
>>> isi alerts [-w] [args [...]]
The isi alerts command with no argument appended returns a list of all currently
active alerts, with their ids, time of occurrence, severity, quiet status, and
message. If history is specified, then historical alerts are listed.
The -w argument specifies a wide view, to see all aspects of the alerts.
Alerts may be quieted if periodic notifications are no longer desired, or unquieted
to resume notifications. Alerts will be automatically cancelled after a period of time
if the condition no longer persists, or they may be cancelled explicitly by the user
(not recommended.
isi config
!hen a user executes isi config at the command line, the system opens a subset
of configuration commands directed at managing configuration settings. The isi
config command brings the user to an interactive configuration system where
various node and cluster settings may be altered.
NOTE!hile Isilon I" is in the isi config subsystem, the other Isilon I" commands
are unavailable.
>>> help
The help command lists all of the commands available in the current Isilon I" #$I
context.
>>> help <Isilon IQ command>

The add and join commands use the list command.
>>> add < #$% address list position >
The add command attempts to export the configuration settings from the cluster
executing the command to an unconfigured node on the same subnet, thus ma3ing
it part of the cluster. The node is specified in the argument by its 4A# address, or
by the number corresponding to its position in the list of unconfigured nodes
(obtained by executing the 2list unconfigured2 command. 4ultiple machines can be
added simultaneously.
>>> &oin < name list position > '<password>(
The join command attempts to 5oin a node to a cluster, specified by its name or by
the number that corresponds to its position in the list of clusters (see list.
>>> &oinmode [ mode ]
The joinmode command determines how the system will behave when new Isilon
I" nodes come online on the subnet occupied by the Isilon I" cluster0
The manual argument configures the system to 5oin new nodes into the cluster in
a separate manual process (see 5oin and add. This is the default 5oin mode
setting.
The secure argument configures the cluster to disallow any new node from 5oining
the cluster externally. It also ma3es some other aspects of operation more secure.

new range of I1 addresses. If the old range is not given, all nodes in the cluster are
migrated to addresses in the new range.
>>> remo)e [<node id> all]
The remove command deletes a node from the cluster, as specified by its node I-.
If no argument specifying a node is appended, remove will act upon the node that
is running the current isi6config session.
If the 2all2 argument is appended, it removes all cluster nodes. In all cases, the
system returns a confirmation prompt before executing the command.
&nce executed, any removed node will reboot and return to its unconfigured state
with all data removed.
The system returns a warning prompt, as3ing the user to confirm execution0
DANGER Resettin! device 2 mi!ht ca"se data loss i# there are

The default entry at this prompt is 7no89 so if the user presses Enter without
typing a response, remove will not execute.
>>> deliprange [<interface-name> lowest IP - highest IP ]
The deliprange command removes the I1 addresses in the range specified in the
argument from the list of I1 addresses reserved for use in the particular named
interface.
If deliprange is executed with no arguments, the system will return a list of I1
ranges reserved for assignment to Isilon I" nodes
If an address in the range specified to be deleted is currently assigned to an Isilon
I" node, the system will return an error message0

!l!hen appended with the -l flag, the isi serv command will display all services
that the user may change, along with a short description and their state.
!a!hen appended with the -a flag, the services list will be augmented to include all
services and their current status, even those that the user cannot change.
isi set
The isi set command controls the protection policy settings on files and folders in
the Isilon I" file system. There are several ways a protection policy can be set on a
file0
a policy can be set explicitly on files
a policy can be inherited from a parent folder (i
a policy on a folder can be forced upon the contents of that folder,
overriding the settings already in place.
>>>isi set [-fnr)/] [-p policy] [-c <onoff>] file
Protection Policy
To set a protection policy explicitly on a particular file, execute the isi set
command appended with the Hp flag followed directly with a protection policy, and
then the path to the file on which you want to set the policy, as in the following
example0
)cl"ster name(2 isi set -p< policy > <file path>
&r, more specifically0
)cl"ster name(2 isi set p[ i | <n>x | <n>+1 ] <file path>
!here the policy options act in the following ways0
The i argument configures the file to inherit its protection policy from the
nearest parent folder that has an explicitly set policy. The i setting is the
implicit state.
The $n%x argument configures the file system to mirror the file n times,
where n cannot exceed the number of nodes in the cluster.
The $n%&' argument configures the file system to stripe the file n
times with parity protection.
Aor example, the following command would protect the designated file with twice-
over mirroring0
)cl"ster name(2 isi set p2x //ifs/song.mp3
Write-Coalescing Policy
!rite-coalescing may be set to either on or off , and is specified with the -c flag.
Iy default, only the files specified on the command-line are modified, as in the
following example0
)cl"ster name(2 isi set -c on <file path>
Scope
The file upon which the protection policy acts can be further defined by prepending
the file path with one of the following scope operators%delimiters0
)cl"ster name(2 isi set [-fnr!] p<policy> <file path>
!here the scope options act in the following ways0
The !f argument may be specified to suppress warnings on failures to
change a file.
The !n argument outputs the list of files that would be changed without
actually ta3ing any action.
The !r argument explicitly forces a restripe. It relaxes the requirement
that a change be performed, and restripes each file regardless of whether
this would have occurred otherwise.
The !v argument causes set to list each file as it is reached.
The !# argument recursively sets the protection on files.
Summary
In its entirety, the isi set command ta3es this form0
isi set [-fnr!] [-p policy] [-c <on|off>] file
isi status [-qwD] [-n [ID]]
!hen a user executes isi status at the command line of any node in an Isilon I"
cluster, the user can get a snapshot of the system2s current state.
The isi status command returns real-time information about the status of the
cluster, including data on the health, capacity, space available, detailed throughput
data, and operations whether finished, active, waiting, or failed. The #luster Eealth
and .ode Eealth status indicators are color coded, with green indicating healthy,
red indicating offline, and yellow indicating attention needed.
