Performing the cluster maintenance procedure using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to perform the cluster maintenance procedure.

Perform the following steps for cluster maintenance:

  1. Issue the svctask finderr command to analyze the error log for the highest severity of unfixed errors. This command scans the error log for any unfixed errors. Given a priority ordering defined within the code, the highest priority of unfixed errors is returned.
  2. Issue the svctask dumperrlog command to dump the contents of the error log to a text file.
  3. Locate and fix the error.
  4. Issue the svctask clearerrlog command to clear all entries from the error log, including status events and any unfixed errors. Only issue this command when you have either rebuilt the cluster or have fixed a major problem that has caused many entries in the error log that you do not want to fix individually.
    Note: Clearing the error log does not fix the errors.
  5. Issue the svctask cherrstate command to toggle the state of an error between unfixed and fixed.
