VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION

The VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION command performs network connectivity checks between members of a configuration.

The connect identifier for each connectivity check is generated based on the DGConnectIdentifier property of the associated database.

Format

VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION FOR { ALL | <db_unique_name> };

Command Parameters

db_unique_name: The DB_UNIQUE_NAME initialization parameter value of the member whose network configuration is to be validated. Specify the keyword ALL if all members should be validated.

Usage Notes

This command also performs a check for the static connect identifier.

Command Examples

Example 1: Validating Network Configuration for a Specific Database

DGMGRL> VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION FOR North_Sales; 

Connecting to instance "north_sales1" on database "North_Sales" ...

Checking connectivity from instance "north_sales1" on database "North_Sales to instance "south_sales1" on database "South_Sales"...

Succeeded.

Connecting to instance "north_sales6" on database "North_Sales" ...

Checking connectivity from instance "north_sales6" on database "North_Sales to instance "south_sales1" on database "South_Sales"...

Succeeded.

Connecting to instance "south_sales1" on database "South_Sales" ...

Checking connectivity from instance "south_sales1" on database "South_Sales to instance "north_sales1" on database "North_Sales"...

Succeeded.

Example 2: Validating Network Configuration For All Members

DGMGRL> VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION FOR ALL; 

Connecting to instance "north_sales1" on database "North_Sales" ...
