Same physical volumes on each

 

 

node

 

 

Physical volumes connected on

 

 

each node

Volume groups (package)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Checked only on nodes configured

 

(1m)

to run the package.

LVM logical volumes (package)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Checked for modular packages

 

(1m)

only, as part of package validation

 

 

(cmcheckconf -P).

LVM physical volumes (package)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Checked for modular packages

 

(1m)

only, as part of package validation

 

 

(cmcheckconf -P).

LANs (cluster)

cmviewcl (1m), cmcheckconf (1m),

Standby status is checked for each

 

cmapplyconf (1m)

single NIC; cmviewcl also

 

 

reports APA status.

 

 

cmviewcl flags offline standby in

 

 

an existing cluster, but not for a

 

 

cluster that is being created.

Quorum Server (cluster)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Commands check that the quorum

 

(1m).

server, if used, is running and all

 

 

nodes are authorized to access it.

 

 

And, if more than one IP address

 

 

is specified, that the quorum server

 

 

is reachable from all nodes

 

 

through both the IP addresses.

Lock disk(s) (cluster)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Commands check that the disk(s)

 

(1m)

are accessible from all nodes, and

 

 

that the lock volume group(s) are

 

 

activated on at least one node.

Lock LUN (cluster)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Commands check that all nodes

 

(1m)

are be accessing the same

 

 

physical device and that the lock

 

 

LUN device file is a block device

 

 

file.

File consistency (cluster)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmcompare (1m).

 

IMPORTANT: See the manpage for

 

differences in return codes from

 

cmcheckconf without options versus

 

cmcheckconf -C.

Mount points (package)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

 

(1m)

To check file consistency across all nodes in the cluster, do the following:

1.Customize /etc/cmcluster/ cmfiles2check

2.Distribute it to all nodes using cmsysnc (1m)

3.run cmcheckconf -C

For a subset of nodes, or to check only specific characteristics such as ownership, content, etc., use cmcompare (1m).

Commands check that the mount-point directories specified in the package configuration file exist on all nodes that can run the package.

Service commands (package)

cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf

Commands check that files

 

(1m)

specified by service commands
