36 VxFlex Network Deployment Guide using Dell EMC Networking 25GbE switches and OS10EE
A Troubleshoot SDS connectivity
SDS connectivity problems affect VxFlex performance. VxFlex has a built-in tool to verify that all SDS nodes
in a given protection domain have connectivity. From the VxFlex Command Line Interface (SCLI), run the
VxFlex internal network test to verify the network speed between all the SDS nodes in the Protection Domain.
The following commands test all SDS nodes with a payload of 10 GB, using eight parallel threads:
VxFlex-172-16-33-12:~ # scli --mdm_ip 172.16.33.13 --start_all_sds_network_test
