nodeping(8) -- Pings a node or a noderange.

SYNOPSIS

nodeping [options] noderange

DESCRIPTION

nodeping is a command that pings the default NIC on a node. It can also be used with the -s flag to change the ping location to something that is 'non primary'

OPTIONS

  • -f COUNT, -c COUNT, --count=COUNT
    Number of commands to run at a time
  • -h, --help:
    Show help message and exit
  • -s SUBSTITUTENAME, --substitutename=SUBSTITUTENAME
    Use a different name other than the nodename for ping. This may be a expression, such as {bmc} or, if no { character is present, it is treated as a suffix. -s -eth1 would make n1 become n1-eth1, for example.

EXAMPLES

  • Pinging a node :
    # nodeping <var>node</var>
    node : ping

  • Pinging a group:
    # nodeping <var>groupname</var>
    Node1 : ping Node2 : ping Node3 : ping

  • Pinging BMC on a node:
    # nodeping -s {bmc} <var>noderange</var>
    Node-bmc : ping

  • Pinging by specifying a suffix: # nodeping d1-d4 -s -eth1
    d2-eth1: no_ping
    d1-eth1: no_ping
    d3-eth1: no_ping
    d4-eth1: no_ping

  • Fail to ping node:
    # nodeping <var>node</var>
    node : no_ping
