cl_ccv_comparator command

The cross-cluster verification (CCV) utility compares the cluster configuration information of two different PowerHA SystemMirror clusters. The cl_ccv_collector command can collect the cluster information either from a local node or from a snapshot file. The output file that is generated by running the cl_ccv_collector command is used as an input to the cl_ccv_comparator command. The cl_ccv_comparator command compares specific cluster configuration information that is available in the input file, and creates a report in the JSON format. The report contains result of the comparison.

-f1 {filename_1} -f2 {filename_2}

Specifies the name of files (in the JSON format) to be compared. These files are created after you run the cl_ccv_collector command on clusters that you want to compare.

[-d cluster|rg|ifix|version|resource|network|bp|gui|all]

Specifies the attributes of a cluster that must be compared. You can specify the following values:

cluster

Compares basic information such as the cluster name and ID, the cluster type, and the node list of a cluster.

rg

Compares resource group configuration.

ifix

Compares the installation status of interim fixes.

version

Compares file set information of PowerHA SystemMirror, Cluster Aware AIX (CAA), and Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT).

resource

Compares the number of resources that are configured in the cluster. The resources include applications, file systems, and volume groups.

network

Compares the network configuration of PowerHA SystemMirror.

bp

Compares the backup profiles that are configured for the cloud backup management feature.

gui

Compares the configuration files of the PowerHA SystemMirror User Interface.

all

Compares all the information that is present in the output file that is generated. This is the default value.

[-o output_file]

Specifies the name of the output file that contains the result of comparison. By default, the comparison results are stored in the /var/hacmp/log/ccv_comparison_data.json file. Alternatively, you can specify a different name for the output file.

To compare resource group configuration information of two different clusters and to write the output to a user-defined file, enter the following command:

cl_ccv_comparator --f1 /home/cluster1.json --f2 /home/cluster2.json -d rg -o /var/hacmp/log/rg_comparison_data.json
