3.2.2 Cluster verification
Before starting the transformation, it is important to perform functional verification to ensure
your cluster is working correctly.
򐂰 List the nodes that are managed by CSM, as shown in Example 3-1.

Note: CSM executable commands can be found in the /opt/csm/bin directory. That
directory is in the PATH in the following examples, as typically recommended during CSM
implementation. Therefore, full path names are not used.

The 3 nodes p5570lp02, p5570lp03, p5570lp04 are the POWER5 LPARs and node p6lp01
is the POWER6 LPAR.
򐂰 List the hardware devices that are managed by CSM as shown in Example 3-2.

The HMC that manages the POWER6 server is hmc2 and p5570vio1 is the VIO Server for
the POWER5 server.
򐂰 The node group CSM1_nodegroup contains all the CSM-managed nodes. See
Example 3-3.

򐂰 The csmstat command displays the status of each node, as shown in Example 3-4.

In many CSM environments, customer utilize the distributed condition-response
capabilities. We have created a condition and a response to demonstrate this.
򐂰 The condition Filesystem_Tmp_Monitor1 is defined for the node p5570lp02. This condition
sends an email to the root user when the /tmp file system utilization exceeds 90%. The
condition gets rearmed when the percentage utilization drops below 75%. Refer to
Example 3-5.
Example 3-5 List the details of the distributed RMC condition
p5570lp01(root)/> lscondition Filesystem_Tmp_Monitor1
Displaying condition information:
condition 1:
Name = "Filesystem_Tmp_Monitor1"
Node = "p5570lp01"
MonitorStatus = "Monitored"
ResourceClass = "IBM.FileSystem"
EventExpression = "PercentTotUsed>90"
