8.1.1 The clstat Command
HACMP for AIX provides the /usr/sbin/cluster/clstat command for monitoring a cluster and its components. The clstat utility is a clinfo client program that uses the Clinfo API to retrieve information about the cluster. Clinfo must be running on a node for this utility to work properly.
The /usr/sbin/cluster/clstat utility runs on both ASCII and X Window Display clients in either
The clstat utility reports whether the cluster is up, down, or unstable. It also reports whether a node is up, down, joining, leaving, or reconfiguring, and the number of nodes in the cluster. For each node, the utility displays the IP label and address of each network interface attached to the node, and whether that interface is up or down. See the clstat man page for additional information about this utility.
8.1.2 Monitoring Clusters using HAView
HAView is a cluster monitoring utility that allows you to monitor HACMP clusters using NetView for AIX. Using NetView, you can monitor clusters and cluster components across a network from a single management station.
HAView creates and modifies NetView objects that represent clusters and cluster components. It also creates submaps that present information about the state of all nodes, networks, and network interfaces associated with a particular cluster. This cluster status and configuration information is accessible through NetView’s menu bar.
HAView monitors cluster status using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). It combines periodic polling and event notification through traps to retrieve cluster topology and state changes from the HACMP management agent, that is, the Cluster SMUX peer daemon (clsmuxpd).
