The node details are divided into several sections. Each section has a tab. Examine
the data that is reported in each tab for the information that you want.
v The Node tab shows general information about the node that includes the node
state and whether it is a configuration node.
v The Hardware tab shows information about the hardware.
v The Access tab shows the management IP addresses and the service addresses
for this node.
v The Location tab identifies the enclosure in which the node canister is located.
v The Ports tab shows information about the I/O ports.
Procedure: Getting node canister and system information
using a USB flash drive
You can view information about the node canister and system using a USB flash
drive.
About this task
Use any USB flash drive with a FAT32 file system on its first partition.
1. Ensure that the USB flash drive does not contain a file named satask.txt in
the root directory.
If satask.txt does exist in the directory, the node attempts to run the command
that is specified in the file. The information that is returned is appended to the
satask_result.html file. Delete this file if you no longer want the previous output.
Procedure
1. Insert the USB flash drive in the USB port of the node from which you want to
collect data. The node fault light-emitting diode (LED) flashes while
information is collected and written to the USB flash drive.
2. Wait until the LED stops flashing before removing the USB flash drive. Because
the LED is a fault indicator, it might remain permanently on or off.
3. View the results in file satask_result.html in a web browser. The file contains
the details and results of the command that was run and the status and the
configuration information from the node canister.

Procedure: Understanding the system status using the LEDs

Use this procedure to determine the system status using the LED indicators on the
system. The procedure differs, depending on the generation of your control
enclosure model.
