Cluster and Package Maintenance
Reviewing Cluster and Package Status
Chapter 7 331
cmviewcl -r A.11.16
(See the cmviewcl (1m) manpage for the supported release formats.)
The formatting options let you choose a style: the tabulated format is
designed for viewing; the line format is designed for scripting, and is
easily parsed.
See the manpage for a detailed description of other cmviewcl options.
Viewing Dependencies
The cmviewcl -v command output lists dependencies throughout the
cluster. For a specific package’s dependencies, use the -p <pkgname>
option.
Viewing CFS Multi-Node Information
On systems that support Veritas Cluster File System (CFS), you can use
cfs commands to see multi-node package configuration information,
status, and dependencies in a CFS cluster; for example:
cfsdgadm show_package <diskgroup>
cfsmntadm show_package <mountpoint>
getconf -p <mnpkg> | grep dependency
Types of Cluster and Package States
A cluster or its component nodes may be in several different states at
different points in time. The following sections describe many of the
common conditions the cluster or package may be in.
Cluster Status
The status of a cluster, as shown by cmviewcl, can be one of the
following:
• up - At least one node has a running cluster daemon, and
reconfiguration is not taking place.
• down - No cluster daemons are running on any cluster node.
• starting - The cluster is in the process of determining its active
membership. At least one cluster daemon is running.
• unknown - The node on which the cmviewcl command is issued
cannot communicate with other nodes in the cluster.
