StorPool ping

To reliably test the storage network connectivity you can use the storpool_ping tool.

About

The storpool_ping tool tests the connectivity between StorPool services. To use it, respective services shall be running on both end nodes. By default the tool sends from a source block to the destination server, but this can be altered by the user. When using the tool you should specify the node ID; for details on how you can obtain this ID, see Server.

Note

storpool_ping can be used for troubleshooting on clusters where hardware acceleration is enabled. It can also be used on clusters where hardware acceleration is not supported or enabled.
