How does one uniquely identify a cluster?
I am trying to write some utilities that will tell me filesystem usage and the like, and would like to uniquely identify filers and clusters. I could use the system ids, but wouldn't it be impossible to determine the system id of a failed partner?
Ideally, I want a single text string that identifies the pair as a whole.
Anyone have an idea?
Adam Fox has an elegant way to determine partners but mine is functional just the same. With the "sysconfig -v" command you get the System ID with hostname, and Partner ID with hostname as demonstrated below. I have one system named regina and its partner is halifax. The sysconfig -v is part of your weekly logs as well.
[root@mspadmin2.dal.mslp.ti.com] rsh regina sysconfig -v NetApp Release 5.3.6R2: Sat Aug 5 09:40:44 PDT 2000 System ID: 0016786020 (regina); partner ID: 0016782200 (halifax)
