The output depends on the type of check performed. See below to get detailed information.
check_vios _status case
The check_NSM_vios_ivm shell is called with the following syntax:
check_NSM_vios_ivm –H <vios_netName> -U <user> -I <identity_file>
Output:
Only two states are possible for Vios status: OK or UNKNOWN:
− for OK state, the output is "Virtual I/O Server state: Operating"
− for UNKNOWN state, the output is "Unable to determine Virtual I/O Server
state", following the reason.
Note:
The check_vios_status command is based on the state given by the lssyscfg IVM command
to obtain the state of the Vios system.
Example:
check_NSM_vios_ivm –H ivm1 –U padmin –I id_dsa_nsm
Output: Virtual I/O Server state: Operating
Return code: OK.
check_vios_lpar_status case
The check_NSM_vios_ivm shell is called with the following syntax:
check_NSM_vios_ivm –H <vios_netName> -U <user> -I <identity_file>
-l <lpar_name> -N <vios_name>
Output:
Logical partition <lpar_name> on <vios_name>: <lpar_status>
