NetBackup™ Flex Scale Administrator's Guide

Performing health check for the cluster

You can use the support health check area=area nodename=nodename command to validate the network, OS, security, and protocol configuration for the cluster. You can run this command from the cluster-level CLI for a configured NetBackup Flex Scale cluster. The NetBackup Flex Scale cluster-level CLI can be accessed using the console IP address. You can access it by logging into the system using the console IP address with your credentials. For example: ssh admin_user@console_ip.

The command checks for any discrepancies in the following areas:

  • all: All health validations (default).

  • network: Validate network configuration.

  • os: Validate OS configuration.

  • security: Validate STIG, FIPS, lockdown mode configuration.

  • protocols: Validate protocol configuration.

  • va_config: Validate fencing configuration.

The output of the health check is saved to a file in JSON format at /log/VRTSnas/log/. The naming convention for the JSON file is /opt/VRTSnas/log/health-check-area-nodenames-time.json. For example, /log/VRTSnas/log/health-check-all-nbfs-01-nbfs-02-nbfs-03-nbfs-04-20230417021610.1681722970.json

You can perform the validations for all the cluster nodes or for specific nodes by specifying a comma-separated list of nodes.

For more details about this command, see the Veritas NetBackup Flex Scale Command Reference Guide.
