ping

The ping command checks to see whether a host is alive. If the host name is omitted, it tests all hosts in the cluster including witness hosts.

Ping uses the host ping timeout and methods specified in the manager.properties file. By default output is parsimonious.

The following shows an example of the output:

[LOGICAL] /nyc > ping
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY: PING TIMEOUT=2
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY: CHECKING MY OWN ('db2') CONNECTIVITY
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY: CHECKING CLUSTER MEMBER 'db1'
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY: CHECKING CLUSTER MEMBER 'db3'
