Verifying that the cluster is in secure mode

Perform the following procedure to verify that the cluster's security (VxAT) works after the reboot.

To verify that VxAT works

  1. Make sure that the vxatd process is running. Grep the vxatd process.

    # ps -ef | grep vxatd

    For a running process, output resembles:

    root 139410      1   0 13:01:19      -  0:02 /opt/VRTSat/bin/vxatd
    root 176206 229686   0 17:22:39  pts/0  0:00 grep vxatd

    If the process is not running, enter the following command to start it.

    # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vxatd
  2. Make sure that the CmdServer process is running. Grep the CmdServer process.

    # ps -ef | grep CmdServer

    For a running process, output resembles:

    root 176142 229686   0 17:24:04  pts/0  0:00 grep CmdServer
    root 262272      1   0 13:05:42      -  0:00 /opt/VRTSvcs
    /bin/CmdServer

    If the process is not running, enter the following command to start it.

    # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/CmdServer
  3. For secure communication with Veritas Operations Manager, you may have to restart HAD.

    • Stop HAD, at the prompt type:

      # hastop -local -force
      # ps -ef | grep had
          root 426094 319550   0 15:06:44  pts/0  0:00 grep had
    • Start HAD, at the prompt type:

      # hastart
