Hi Admins,

Any script for consistency check on MCSG? I need a free tool. Thanks!!!

What are you wanting to check? What kind of "consistency check?"

To check the configuration there is the 'cmcheckconf' command.

Hi Patrick, sorry for the delay, I meant a free tool to check the consistency between both nodes, not only for SG configuration. LVM, patches, kernel parm., etc...

thanks!

serviceguard 11.20 has a new cmcompare functionality that is able to compare the contents of specified and arbitrary files this also happens when you do a cmapplyconf -C.

thanks for the info Emil, but could be a good to tool for us to have a script to check: patches, kernel parameters, permissions and compare of config files between cluster nodes.

Regards!

On top of my head, I cannot see a tool for doing this job.

However, you could write a own script to compare the patch level on all the cluster servers.

Thanks,

Vel

The cmcompare command that is run when you do a cmapplyconf checks the content, permissions and timestamp of the files defined in /etc/cmcluster/cmclfilestocheck

What you could do is create a cron job on each node that does a swlist and saves it to a file every day. Then let the cmcompare functionality check that file to check if the systems have the same software and patches

It will already check /etc/passwd /etc/group and other files to make sure the contents and permissions are the same.

Just a idea.
