Chapter 6    ClusterCATS Utilities

Using btcfgchk

The 

btcfgchk

 utility is a network management tool that displays information about 

your IP and DNS configurations. Use it to analyze and troubleshoot the servers and 
network.

Syntax

Invoke 

btcfgchk

 from the command line in the <

CC_install_directory

>

/

 directory 

using the following syntax:

btcfgchk

Sample output

The following sample output shows how 

btcfgchk

 displays configuration information 

for a system with one network adapter and two IP addresses:

btcfgchk FQHN is hartford.brighttiger.com 
El90x1 [PRIMARY]:

hartford.brighttiger.com        192.168.0.31
255.255.255.0
hartford.brighttiger.com

hartford1.brighttiger.com       192.168.0.32
255.255.255.0
hartford1.brighttiger.com

btcfgchk DNS errors

The 

btcfgchk

 utility reports on DNS configuration problems. ClusterCATS requires 

that your DNS be configured with correct forward and reverse mappings. A forward 
mapping (AName record) translates the host name to an IP address. A reverse mapping
