that you set up a cron job to regularly run the cmcheckconf command. For more information
about setting the cron job, see Setting up Periodic Cluster Verification section in the latest version
of the Managing Serviceguard manual available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs

“Validating Metrocluster package” (page 52) lists the checks made on a Metrocluster Package.

RemarkCommandValidations/Checks
For Metrocluster with Continuous Access
for P9000 and XP, It checks whether
the Raid Manager is installed.
cmcheckconf [–v]
# cmcheckconf
cmapplyconf
Verify whether the Array Management
Software is available.
# cmapplyconf -P
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
cmcheckconf [-P/-p]
# cmcheckconf -P
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
# cmcheckconf -p
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
cmcheckconf [-v]Verify whether the contents in the
environment file matches with the
# cmcheckconf
contents in the package present in the
CDB.
Checks the package configuration file
that is passed as an argument for the

# cmcheckconf
Verify all attributes in the Metrocluster
module.
cmcheckconf [-P/-p] command.
cmapplyconf
For cmcheckconf, it checks the
Metrocluster environment file that is
# cmapplyconf -P
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
available in the Metrocluster package
directory.
cmcheckconf [-P/-p]
# cmcheckconf -P

Warns you if the disks belonging to a

# cmcheckconf
Verify whether the disks belonging to
a volume group or a disk group are

cmapplyconf
the disks belong to a replication group
that is different from what is mentioned
# cmapplyconf -P
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
in the environment file or the package
configuration file.
cmcheckconf [-P/-p]
When Metrocluster is integrated with
Site Controller, this verify is done only
# cmcheckconf -P
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
when you run the cmcheckconf [-v]
# cmcheckconf -p
<Metrocluster_pkg.conf>
command. During validation, it creates
a list of volume groups and diskgroups
for all the packages controlled by Site
Controller and does the above verify.
Restrictions
Cannot confirm if the disks are being
replicated in case they are being used
as raw disks or in case they belong to
an Oracle ASM diskgroup.
Skips this verify on VxVM diskgroups if
the naming convention used by VxVM
is legacy and if the controller ID is
greater than 512 (This happens when
