Extension node verification steps

There are several ways to verify that the extension node has been successfully installed and is operating correctly. Perform steps 1, 2, and 3. You can optionally perform step 4:

1. Issue the following command to verify the definition of the extension node:

   splstnodes -t dependent node_number reliable_host_name \
   management_agent_hostname extension_node_identifier snmp_community_name
   

2. Issue the following command to verify the definition of the extension node adapter:

   splstadapters -t dependent node_number netaddr netmask
   

3. Issue the following command to verify that the extension node is connected to the switch:

   SDRGetObjects switch_responds
   

   You should receive output similar to the following:

   node_number switch_responds autojoin  isolated     adapter_config_status
   1           0               0         0            css_ready
   3           0               0         0            css_ready
   4           0               0         0            css_ready
   5           0               0         0            css_ready
   6           0               0         0            css_ready
   7           0               0         0            css_ready
   

4. Use the Perspectives GUI to verify the definitions of the extension node and extension node adapter, and to verify that the extension node is connected to the switch.
