Details about HX Healthcheck results/outputs?

[3dots]

Hi, 

I am hoping someone can point me to a more detailed document regarding the HX Healthcheck results/outputs.

For example, 

1. One of the check return result status as "Lenient". It is easier to understand "PASS" or "FAIL" but what does "Lenient" indicate?

2. From the healthcheck tool summary json file, there are "HX Checks" and "NW Checks". What is "NW Checks"?

3. I sometime got the "Checks Iptables count" as "FAIL". But I never got a good understanding/reference regarding what is the impact and how to make it "PASS"...

etc.

Please advise.

1] Looks like "Lenient" is relating to the cluster policy if you check the code.

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/Hyperflex-Hypercheck/blob/master/HXTool.py

    # 15) Cluster Policy (Lenient/Strict) check
    cmd = "stcli cluster info | grep -i 'clusterAccessPolicy:' | head -1"
    op = execmd(cmd)
    clPolicy = ""
    for line in op:
        if "lenient" in line.lower():
            clPolicy = "Lenient"
            testsum[ip]["Check Cluster Policy"] = {"Status": "Lenient", "Result": "Checks the Configured Cluster Policy"}
        elif "strict" in line.lower():
            clPolicy = "Strict"
            testsum[ip]["Check Cluster Policy"] = {"Status": "Strict", "Result": "Please refer - https://tinyurl.com/yadvhd84"}

That tinyurl points to a doc talking about cluster strict vs lenient.

More details bout strict vs lenient:

2] I assume "NW" stands for "NetWork" but honestly I don't know. Will ask one of the authors.

3] This is due to mismatching `iptables` output when comparing the different SCVMs. There is a process to remove all rules and resync by restarting some services. This is a TAC led process. Please open a TAC case to get all of the iptables rules in sync.

Thanks! Please let us know.

One more quick question: any reference guide/doc about "nfstool"?

Hi @3dots ,

Imagine someone wearing braces AND a belt to stop their pants falling down.  The braces (suspenders for N Americans) suddenly break.

Lenient: The person keeps walking relying on the belt to hold up their pants

Strict: The person stops walking until the braces are repaired.
