inserted at the start of the file. The file contains the details and results of the
command that was run and the status and the configuration information from the
node canister. The status and configuration information matches the detail that is
shown on the service assistant home page panels.
The satask.txt file can be created on any workstation by using a text editor. If a
Microsoft Windows workstation is being used, the initialization tool can be used to
create the commands that are most often used.
The fault LED on the node canister flashes when the USB service action is being
performed. When the fault LED stops flashing, it is safe to remove the USB flash
drive.
Results
The USB flash drive can then be plugged into a workstation and the
satask_result.html file viewed in a web browser.
To protect from accidentally running the same command again, the satask.txt file
is deleted after it has been read.
If no satask.txt file is found on the USB flash drive, the result file is still created,
if necessary, and the status and configuration data is written to it.
Using the initialization tool
The initialization tool is a graphical user interface (GUI) application. You must
have Microsoft Windows XP Professional or higher to run the application.
About this task
The initialization tool is available on the USB flash drive that is shipped with the
control enclosures. The name of the application file is InitTool.exe. If you cannot
locate the USB flash drive, you can download the application from the support
website (search for initialization tool):
www.ibm.com/storage/support/storwize/v7000/unified
If you download the initialization tool, you must copy the file onto the USB flash
drive that you are going to use.
To start the initialization tool, insert the USB flash drive that contains the program
into a USB slot on a suitable personal computer. Run the InitTool.exe program
from the USB drive.
The initialization tool is used to create the satask.txt file on a USB flash drive.
After the satask.txt file is created, follow the instructions in "Using a USB flash
drive" on page 186 to run the commands on the node.
The initialization tool prompts you for the task that you want to perform and for
the parameters that are relevant to that task. It prompts you when to put it in the
node canister on the control enclosure. When the commands have run, return the
USB flash drive to your personal computer and start the tool again to see the
results.
