Overview of HCM Global Tests

A global HCM test checks an entire SA Core. Run these tests by executing the run_all_probes.sh script on the following hosts:

  • Sliced configuration—the server hosting the core’s Management Gateway and/or Infrastructure Component (in a Typical Install, the Management Gateway is installed on the server that hosts the Infrastructure Component).
  • Non-sliced configuration—the server hosting the Primary Model repository Multimaster Component for the core being validated.

Test results are displayed on stdout. The global tests cannot check the status of other cores in a multimaster mesh.

In a multiserver core, the global tests connect to the other core servers using SSH. All connections are made as root, or a non-root user with sudo permission. Authentication is performed by specifying the user password or the key file on the command line. If both are specified, then the user password is used. One of these authentication methods must be specified unless the server is the local host. Passwordless login with keyfile is supported only for the root user.
