NAME

nodeping - Pings a node or a noderange.

SYNOPSIS

nodeping [options] noderange

DESCRIPTION

nodeping is a command that pings the default NIC on a node. It can also be used with the -s flag to change the ping location to something that is 'non primary'

OPTIONS

  • ` -f COUNT, -c` COUNT, --count=COUNT
    Number of commands to run at a time
  • -h, --help:
    Show help message and exit
  • -s SUBSTITUTENAME, --substitutename=SUBSTITUTENAME
    Use a different name other than the nodename for ping. This may be a expression, such as {bmc} or, if no { character is present, it is treated as a suffix. -s -eth1 would make n1 become n1-eth1, for example.

EXAMPLES

# nodeping <node>
node : ping
Pinging a group:
# nodeping <groupname>
Node1 : ping Node2 : ping Node3 : ping
Pinging BMC on a node:
# nodeping -s {bmc} <noderange>
` Node-bmc : ping`
Pinging by specifying a suffix
