This topic describes the categories of information provided in the short status display as shown in the following example of output from the lcdstatus -e and lcdstatus -q commands. For information on how to display this information, see the lcdstatus documentation page. At the command line, you can print usage information by entering the %LKROOT%/Bin directory and running `perl lcdstatus -h`. For status information available in the LifeKeeper GUI, see Viewing the Status of a Server or Viewing the Status of Resources.

Examples of Short Status Display:

Resource Hierarchy Information

With the -q argument, the first column is set to the local system name:


LOCAL TAG ID STATE PRIO PRIMARY
CAE-CX-LAB29 SQL.Default CAE-CX-LAB29 ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29
CAE-CX-LAB29 |—-172.17.104.104 172.17.104.104 ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29
CAE-CX-LAB29 |—-sqlapp.Vol.E E: ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29
CAE-CX-LAB29 |—-sqlapp.Vol.F F: ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29

With the -e argument, the first column is set to the name of the next system in priority order:


BACKUP TAG ID STATE PRIO PRIMARY
CAE-CX-LAB30 SQL.Default CAE-CX-LAB29 ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29
CAE-CX-LAB30 |—-172.17.104.104 172.17.104.104 ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29
CAE-CX-LAB30 |—-sqlapp.Vol.E E: ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29
CAE-CX-LAB30 |—-sqlapp.Vol.F F: ISP 1 CAE-CX-LAB29

Communication Status Information

MACHINE       TYPE  ADDRESSES/DISK                 STATE  PRIO
CAE-CX-LAB30  TCP   172.17.107.105/172.17.107.104  ALIVE  1
CAE-CX-LAB30  TCP   172.17.107.105/172.17.107.104  ALIVE  2

Resource Hierarchy Information

LifeKeeper displays the resource status of each resource. The LifeKeeper tag names of root resources are displayed beginning in the left-most position of the TAG column, with tag names of resources within the hierarchy indented appropriately to indicate dependency relationships between resources.

When using the -e option, the BACKUP column indicates the next system in the failover priority order, after the system for which the status display pertains. If the target system is the lowest priority system for a given resource, the BACKUP column for that resource contains dashes (for example, ------).

The resource hierarchy information columns are described below:

  • TAG: Contains the root tag for the resource.
  • ID: Contains each resource’s identifier string.
  • STATE: Contains the current state of each resource, as described in Resource States.
  • PRIO:Contains the failover priority value of the local server, for each resource.
  • PRIMARY: Contains the name of the server with the highest priority, for each resource.

Communication Status Information

This section of the display lists each communications path that has been defined on the target system. For each path, the following information is provided.

  • MACHINE: Remote server name for the communications path.
  • NETWORK: The type of communications path (TCP or SCSI).
  • ADDRESSES/DISK: For TCP, the pair of IP addresses for the communications path. For SCSI, the Volume in use for shared disk communication.
  • STATE: The state of the communications path (ALIVE or DEAD).
  • PRIO: The assigned priority of the path.
