Validating a Protection Group

If the configuration status of a protection group is displayed as Error in the geoadm status output, you can validate the configuration by using the geopg validate command. This command checks the current state of the protection group and its entities.

How to Validate a Protection Group

This procedure validates the configuration of the protection group on the local cluster only. To validate the protection group configuration on the partner cluster, run the command again on the partner cluster.


Note -  You can also accomplish this procedure by using the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager GUI. Click Partnerships, then click the partnership name. In the Protection Groups section, highlight the protection group name and click Validate.

For more information about Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager, see Chapter 13, Using the Oracle Solaris Cluster GUI, in Oracle Solaris Cluster System Administration Guide.


Before You Begin

Ensure that the following conditions are met:

  • The protection group you want to validate exists locally.

  • The common agent container is online on all nodes of both clusters in the partnership.

  1. Log in to one of the cluster nodes.

    You must be assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Securing Geographic Edition Software.

  2. Validate the configuration of the protection group.

    This command validates the configuration of the protection group on the local cluster only. To validate the protection group configuration on the partner cluster, run the command again on the partner cluster.

    # geopg validate protection-group 
    protection-group

    Specifies a unique name that identifies a single protection group

    • If the protection group and its entities are valid, the configuration status of the protection groups is set to OK.

    • If the geopg validate command finds an error in the configuration files, the command displays an error message and the configuration remains in the Error state. Fix the error in the configuration, then rerun the geopg validate command.
