From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: Convolo DataGuard has a "cluster monitor" which is the same as your "cluster status" except it automatically refreshes every 8 seconds. Can we have this with a future release of Cluster Manager please..?? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not Applicable 2. 3. Actual Results: With "cluster status" you have to manual refresh the view Expected Results: "cluster monitor" could refresh the view automatically at an adjustable time interval. Additional info: The GUI is a nice idea but not always practical. For example you could be using telnet to make remote configuration changes so you would prefer to use the command line inteface to get the status of the cluster. Nice to see the changes in status especially during demos. The GUI tends to be rather java heavy.
"cluster status" calls an external program called "clustat". Perhaps what you're looking for is "clustat -i <interval>"? There are a couple of reasons "cluster monitor" isn't present in cluadmin, the most important is the cluadmin session lock - there can be only one copy of cluadmin running on the cluster at a time to ensure the integrity of the cluster configuration. "clustat" doesn't use the session lock (because it doesn't have the capability of modifying cluster information!).
"clustat -i <interval>" provides the exact function i was looking for - thanks.
