Answer

  • `callhome.wafl.check:alert` indicates that a WAFL file system integrity check is required or has been initiated and an AutoSupport is generated.
  • The single event does not confirm whether a repair runs or whether it succeeds or fails.
  • It does not, by itself, prove that the file system is repaired.
  • It does not, by itself, mean that a repair fails.

Additional Information

Review EMS/messages around the same timestamp for entries indicating WAFL check start, completion, and any items repaired or flagged for further action.
  • Look for related file system or media/path errors near the event to understand potential root cause and scope (volume or aggregate).
  • Underlying trigger can be hardware related (for example, disk or path issues); logs determine cause.
  • If the alert recurs or correlates with media/path errors, perform hardware health checks and engage support with logs for analysis.
  • Do not run low-level WAFL repair tools without NetApp Technical Support guidance.
