General topology tests
The Cluster Test Tool runs the general topology tests in a certain order.
The order is as follows:
- Bring a node up and start cluster services on all available nodes
- Stop cluster services on a node and bring resource groups offline.
- Restart cluster services on the node that was stopped
- Stop cluster services and move resource groups to another node
- Restart cluster services on the node that was stopped
- Stop cluster services on another node and place resource groups in an UNMANAGED state.
- Restart cluster services on the node that was stopped.
The Cluster Test Tool uses the terminology for stopping cluster services that was used in PowerHA® SystemMirror® in releases prior to v.5.4. For information on how the methods for stopping cluster services map to the terminology used in v.5.4, see Starting and stopping cluster services.
When the automated test procedure starts, the tool runs each of the following tests in the order shown:
-
NODE_UP, ALL, Start cluster services on all available nodes -
NODE_DOWN_GRACEFUL, node1, Stop cluster services gracefully on a node -
NODE_UP, node1, Restart cluster services on the node that was stopped -
NODE_DOWN_TAKEOVER, node2, Stop cluster services with takeover on a node -
NODE_UP, node2, Restart cluster services on the node that was stopped -
NODE_DOWN_FORCED, node3, Stop cluster services forced on a node -
NODE_UP, node3, Restart cluster services on the node that was stopped
