Table 12 Verifying Cluster Components (continued)
CommentsTool or Command; More InformationComponent (Context)
To check file consistency across all
nodes in the cluster, do the
following:
cmcheckconf (1m), cmcompare (1m).
IMPORTANT: See the manpage for
differences in return codes from
cmcheckconf without options versus
cmcheckconf -C
File consistency (cluster)
1. Customize /etc/cmcluster/
cmfiles2check
2. Distribute it to all nodes using
cmsysnc (1m)
3. run cmcheckconf -C
For a subset of nodes, or to check
only specific characteristics such
as ownership, content, etc., use
cmcompare (1m).
Commands check that each node
has a working physical connection
to the disks.
cmcheckconf (1m), cmapplyconf
(1m)

Package Configuration” (page 245).

package.
Commands check that files

Commands check that all IP

node that can run the package.

Setting up Periodic Cluster Verification
You can use cron (1m) to run cluster verification at a fixed interval. Specify the commands to
run in a crontab file (see crontab (1)).
