nodestatus(1)
NAME
nodestatus – Gets or sets the status or run level of each node
SYNOPSIS
nodestatus [-bhr] [status]
OPTIONS
-b Operate in the background.
-h Display the list of options.
-r Get/set run level.
DESCRIPTION
The nodestatus command is used to update status information in the RMS database as
nodes are booted or halted. When run without arguments, nodestatus gets the status
of the node on which it is running from the Machine Manager. When run with the -r
flag, nodestatus gets the current run level.
When nodestatus is run with the status argument, it updates the node’s status or,
if the -r flag is set, it updates the node’s run level. The change is reflected in the
nodes table for the node on which the command is running. (See Section 10.2.14). This
mechanism is used to track the progress of booting a node. Administrative privileges are
required to update the status or run level of a node.
The status can be one of these values: not responding, active or running.
Status updates may be delayed if the node running the database server is down. If
background operation is specified with the -b option, nodestatus runs in the
background and keeps trying until the database server is up and running.
