LKCLI (LifeKeeper Command Line Interface)

LKCLI provides functions that can be performed with the LifeKeeper GUI through the command line interface. LifeKeeper provides export/import of communication paths and resource information which the GUI does not provide. Export/import functionality enables duplicating a created system and easy deployment from a testing environment to a production environment.

Supported Environments

LKCLI is supported in the following environments:

• OS – All operating systems supported by LifeKeeper are supported.

• Application Recovery Kits – Except for those subject to the restrictions described below, only environments configured with the Application Recovery Kits in the “Supported ARK List” are supported. If unsupported ARK resources have been created on a node, the environment is not supported.

If you want to perform command line operations in an unsupported environment, please consider using the Command Line Interface.
