Verifying the cluster

Now that you have successfully installed IBM® Spectrum Conductor on at least one host, verify that the cluster is working properly.

Before you begin

You must be logged on as cluster administrator (using the egosh user logon command).

Procedure

  1. If you did not choose to start IBM Spectrum Conductor on the local host, start the hosts in the cluster:
    1. From the primary host, run egosh ego start all.
    2. Run egosh resource list periodically for up to one minute.
  2. Verify that the list of resources displays:
    • If no resources display, then either VEMKD or LIM may be down. For more information, see Troubleshooting cluster startup.
    • If resources display, run egosh service list.
  3. Verify that the list of services displays:
    • If no services display, the service controller (egosc) may be down. For more information, see Troubleshooting cluster startup.
    • If services display, confirm that the services have started.
  4. Verify your IBM Spectrum Conductor installation.
    • From the CLI, follow these steps:
      1. Open a shell terminal to launch the command console.
      2. Run the cat $EGO_TOP/Install.info command to view the product version. You can also view a summary of the key packages installed with IBM Spectrum Conductor 2.5.0. For example:
        IBM Spectrum
        Conductor 2.5.0
        Install Host:test1
        Install Location:/opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing
        Install Time:Thu Oct 27 11:40:00 EDT 2016
        Product Name:EGO Core
        Product Name:IBM Spectrum Computing family: ascd
            Install Host:test1
            Install Location:/opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing
            Install Time:Thu Oct 27 12:05:01 EDT 2016
        Product Name:IBM Spectrum Conductor with Spark core
            Install Host:test1
            Install Location:/opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing
            Install Time:Thu Oct 27 12:10:06 EDT 2016
        Product Name:IBM Spectrum Conductor with Spark management
            Install Host:test1
            Install Location:/opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing
            Install Time:Thu Jul 28 12:16:28 EDT 2016
        Note: To view details of each package installed with IBM Spectrum Conductor 2.5.0, run the cat .install/package.db command.
      3. Run the egosh entitlement info command to view details of entitlement:

        IBM Spectrum Conductor: Entitled

    • From the cluster management console, follow these steps:
      1. Log in to the cluster management console. For more information, see Locating the cluster management console.
      2. In the cluster management console header, click the help menu and select About.
      3. Check that the product version is correct in the About window. For example:

        IBM Spectrum Conductor v2.5.0

      4. Access the System & Services > Host Software page within the cluster management console to confirm the software version installed on each host. This page indicates the installation packages and versions on each host. You can also see the active version of each software package on this page.

        If you upgraded the product version, you may have more than one version of the same software package installed, but only the upgraded version should be active.

        For a list of installation package names, refer to Files within the installation packages .

What to do next

You can now create instance groups. As the cluster administrator, ensure that all users who submit workload to instance groups can access the $EGO_TOP/jre directory. Without access to the Java directory, workload execution will fail.
