LDT GuardPoint Group Commands
Prerequisites for CIFS Share drives
Prior to running the voradmin ldt group
commands, you must:
-
Ensure that you have access and permission to read/write to/from the CIFS share.
-
Mount the CIFS share using the
net use
command, or login to the CIFS shares using Windows Explorer.
Group check
The group check
command is used to send out an internal ping to all hosts that are registered with the master as part of the LDT Communication Group. Each functioning host responds. Then the host displays a message of the hosts in the LDT Communication Group that did not respond. This allows an administrator to easily find the problem.
Syntax
voradmin ldt group check <gp_path>
Example (Windows)
voradmin ldt group check \\192.168.1.160\share
Hostname Role State GuardPoint Path
192.168.1.161 PRIMARY JOINED \\192.168.1.160\share
192.168.1.162 SECONDARY JOINED \\192.168.1.160\share
Example (Linux)
voradmin ldt group check /nfs1/gp
Role State Hostname GuardPoint Path
PRIMARY JOINED host1.domain /nfs1/gp1
SECONDARY JOINED host2.domain /nfs1/gp1
Info
Use the info
command to display information about the cluster.

Remove
This command allows a client to be manually removed from the group safely. Use the Remove Host
command if a client dies without properly leaving the group.
Note
Only run this command on clients which will be powered off. Do not run it on a client which may simply have temporary network issues.
Syntax
voradmin ldt group remove <hostname> <GuardPoint pathname>
Example (Windows)
voradmin ldt group remove host42 \\server\share
WARNING: This command will forcibly remove host42 from the LDT group for gp_path
You should only perform this step if the host is guaranteed to be powered off, otherwise a
loss of data may result. Do you wish to continue? (Y/N)
Example (Linux)
voradmin ldt group remove host2 /nfs-ldt
host2 has been removed from the group for GuardPoint /nfs-ldt
