Requesting node status and discovering the master node
The vxdctl utility controls the operation of the vxconfigd volume configuration daemon. The -c option can be used to request cluster information and to find out which node is the master. To determine whether the vxconfigd daemon is enabled and/or running, use the following command:
vxdctl -c mode
