clverify Command
****************
Purpose
Top level command to verify that the necessary HACMP-specific
modifications to AIX system files exist and are correct, and that
the cluster configuration is correct and consistent.
Syntax
clverify [software] [cluster]
Description
clverify gives you access to the top level menu
for verifying that an HACMP for AIX cluster is properly
configured. Using SMIT you can run this command with
two options: clverify software and clverify cluster.
Choosing these options gives you access to more menu picks
specifying different parts of the HACMP for AIX system which
will be verified. The options can also be specified on the
command line.
clverify software Subcommand
Purpose
Verify that all necessary HACMP-specific modifications to AIX system files
exist and are correct.
Syntax
clverify software [lpp]
Description
clverify software is used to verify that all of the HACMP-specific
modifications to AIX system files exist and are correct for running
HACMP for AIX.
Flags
lpp Verify that the HACMP-specific modifications to AIX system
files exist and are correct.
-R Redirects output to a log file.
clverify cluster Subcommand
Purpose
Verify that a cluster has been properly configured.
Syntax
clverify cluster [config] [topology]
Description
clverify cluster is used to verify that the cluster environment
has been properly configured. This means that all cluster nodes
agree on the topology of the cluster, and configured resources are
reachable by the proper nodes in the cluster. A list of options
is presented to you. These options are: config and topology.
The options can be specified on the command line.
Flags
config Verifies that the network devices and shared resources
are properly configured.
Options:
resources Verifies resource ownership and takeover
distribution amongst cluster nodes.
networks Verifies that network resources are properly
configured throughout the cluster.
all Verifies the cluster's network topology,
resources and custom methods.
Note: All clverify cluster config options support an -e error_count flag.
This flag allows you to specify the maximum number of errors to display
before exiting. (The topology option does not support the -e flag.)
topology Verifies that all cluster nodes agree on the cluster topology.
Options:
check Checks to see if all nodes are in agreement
on the cluster's topology.
sync Forces all nodes in the cluster to agree with
topology on local node.
Note: All clverify options support an -R file_name flag to generate error
reports to the named file.
Examples
1. To verify that all cluster nodes agree on cluster topology, enter:
clverify cluster topology check
2. To verify that the proper HACMP-specific modifications to AIX system files
are correct, and to place the results in a file called HACMP_INST, enter:
clverify software lpp -R HACMP_INST
