The sfsmgr utility 2–4
You must enter enough letters to make the abbreviated command unique; if you do not, the command will
not work (the usage for the command will be displayed). For example, in the
show
commands, you cannot
abbreviate the word
show
to
sh
, as this could be confused with the
shutdown
command; you can,
however, abbreviate it to
sho
. Similarly, you can abbreviate the
show lun
and the
show log
commands
to
sho lu
and
sho lo
.
2.3.1 Running sfsmgr commands at the command line
You can run many of the
sfsmgr
commands at the command line, as shown in the following example. This
method of entering the commands allows you to pipe the output to
less
or
more
so that the output does
not scroll off the screen. This is useful where the output of the command is expected to be lengthy; for
example, when running the
show server server_name
and the
show lun lun_number
commands:
# sfsmgr show server south1|less
HP does not recommend running active commands such as the
configure server
and the
configure
system
commands at the command line. Commands that are suitable for running at the command line
include the
show
commands.
NOTE: The
show log
command does not run successfully at the command line if the query contains a
<
(less than) or a
>
(greater than) operator or contains double quotes. This is because the shell interprets
these characters as instructions rather than operators and modifiers.
2.4 Troubleshooting the sfsmgr command
Use the information in this section to identify potential problems with the
sfsmgr
command:
• If the following message is displayed when you enter the
sfsmgr
command, and the command
terminates immediately, this indicates that the administration service is not running:
# sfsmgr
.
.
.
The database server is not yet ready
• If the administration server has just been booted, the administration service (which is responsible for
starting the database server) may not be ready when you first enter the
sfsmgr
command.
If this is the case, the message shown in the following example is displayed:
# sfsmgr
.
.
.
The database server is not yet ready, do you want to proceed? [n]:
Press the
Return
key to accept the default; the
sfsmgr
command then terminates. Wait for 10
seconds, then enter the
sfsmgr
command again. Continue trying at 10 second intervals until the
command is successful.
If the
sfsmgr
command continues to fail, check whether the
mysqld
daemon is running, by entering
the following command on the administration server:
# clustat
Cluster Status Monitor (SFS Cluster Manager) 10:49:57
Cluster alias: Not Configured
