6. (Option) In the Target Directory text section, click Browse to navigate to a directory for the saved logs.
7. Click Start.
The progress bar indicates the status of the log aggregation. The Log Aggregator displays a Success icon
(green) or a Fail icon (red) for each system and component logged. You can cancel the log aggregation process
by clicking Abort.
Viewing Aggregate Logs
The Log Aggregator saves individual logs in a log directory called ISISLogs__date-time at the location indicated in
the Target Directory section in the Log Aggregator. Subdirectories include separate logs for each component in the
network for which you created logs. The Log Aggregator also creates a compressed file containing all logs in the
top-level folder (aggregator_results.zip). You can forward this compressed file to your Avid representative if
requested by Avid Customer Support.
To view saved logs:
1. Navigate to the directory where the Log Aggregator saved the collected logs.
2. Double-click the file name of the log you want to view.
Disk Analyzer Tool
The Avid ISIS Disk Analyzer runs basic disk performance tests on your Storage Managers. The tests include the
following, which you can run in either Sequential or in Random access mode:
•Read test
• Write test
• Read/Write test
• Erase test
You can also use the Disk Analyzer to collect statistics on the status of Storage Managers and network use, and
redistribution actions, including the statistics generated by Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology
(S.M.A.R.T.—on ISIS | 7500 systems) and by local Storage Manager processes — for example, statistics on Long
Command Times (LCT).
n
S.M.A.R.T. data is also available for ISIS | 7500 and ISIS | 2500 systems through the Log Aggregator tool.
You can run the Disk Analyzer on more than one Storage Manager at a time; however, running the tests might
degrade performance on the shared storage network.
c
Do not run the Disk Analyzer unless instructed to do so by Avid Customer Support, and only during a
maintenance window.
