Looking for a better way to determine active server instead of bdf

[Scott Frye_1]

We have two servers (crhcmax1 and crhcmax2). They are clustered together using ServiceGuard. I'm writing a script to determine which is the active server. Currently I'm doing a bdf and grepping for proddb01 which would not be mounted on the non-active server. Anyone have a better solution?

Thanks

Scott

Using the cmscancl command would provide a wealth of information about the cluster, what is running, what packages on what nodes, etc.

Another option - run the cmviewcl -v and grep for "current". This will tell which is the current server.

Hi,

Check the output of the cmviewcl.

cmviewcl -p package_name |grep running |awk '{print $5}'

This is the host on which the package "package_name" is currently running. substitute the package_name with the name of the package that contains the filesystem "proddb01"

Hope this helps.
