Chapter 14. Testing a clustered system
About this task
After using ptconfig to successfully configure both nodes in the cluster, run the
system verification tests.
Note:
v The system verification tests perform checks on the Red Hat cluster, including
fencing the other node, and waits for the system to reboot. When performed on
a stand-alone configuration, fencing is not tested.
v
In a replication environment, the procedures in this chapter should be performed
on the clustered servers at both the source and the destination locations.
Performing the system verification test
