Getting the Status of HADB

Use the hadbm status command to display the status of the database or its nodes. The command syntax is:

hadbm status  
[--nodes]  
[--adminpassword=password | --adminpasswordfile=file]  
[--agent=maurl] 
[dbname]

The dbname operand specifies the database name. The default is hadb.

The --nodes option (short form -n) displays information on each node in the database. For more information , see Node Status. See General Options for a description of other command options.
