Check the Status of System Components

Use the xtcli status command to check component status.

Check the status of the system or a component with the xtcli status command on the System Management Workstation (SMW). By default, the xtcli status command returns the status of nodes.

The xtcli status command has the following form:

xtcli status [-n] [-m] [{-t type -a}] node_list

Where type may be: cc, bc, cage, node, aries, aries_lcb, pdc, or qpdc. The list must have component IDs only and contain no wild cards.

Use the -m option to display all nodes that were repurposed by using the xtcli mark_node command (see Repurpose a Compute or Service Node).

For more information, see the xtcli(8) man page.

Show the status of a component

For this example, display all nodes that were repurposed using the xtcli mark_node command:

crayadm@smw> xtcli status -m c0-0c0
Network topology: class 2
Network type: Aries
              Nodeid: Service  Core Arch|  Comp state   [Flags]
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
          c0-0c0s2n0:       -  SB16  X86|         off   [noflags|]
          c0-0c0s3n0: service  SB16  X86|         off   [noflags|]
   ----------------------------------------------------------------

This shows that c0-0c0s2n0 is a service node repurposed as a compute node, and that c0-0c0s3n0 is a compute node repurposed as a service node.
