Verifying the cluster nodes
Verify the information of the cluster systems using the hasys -display command. The information for each node in the output should be similar.
Refer to the hasys(1M) manual page.
Refer to the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for information about the system attributes for VCS.
To verify the cluster nodes
- On one of the nodes, type the hasys -display command:
# hasys -display
The example in the following procedure is for SPARC and it shows the output when the command is run on the node sys1. The list continues with similar information for sys2 (not shown) and any other nodes in the cluster.
