The test tool readme outlines the steps the tool runs and the checks made after Replication or Recovery when using the VA
The test tool will run four different tests to determine if there are any differences between and source and target machine.
It will look for:
- changes in the Disrec for a detected product
- compare chosen directories for any differences between systems.
- Run sfc on the target system and return results (Windows Only)
- Check the licensing status.
What steps the tools takes
- Copy the appropriate test-tool binary to the source and target machine
- Run local scans of the system with:
test-tool.exe -ls -sp "/Program Files" or
test-tool -ls -sp /etc/
More information
Multiple Scan paths must be comma seperated e.g.
/etc/,/usr
Windows Users should use unix style paths e.g. /Windows
-
Once both machines have finish the local scan. The tools needs to run in analysis mode. This works best on Unix system but does still work on Windows
-
run the test tool with:
test-tool -a -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -sip 192.168.0.30 -tip 192.168.0.31
The -a tells the tool to run in analysis mode.
sip is source ip and tip the target ip.
The disrec check should complete fairly quickly
The fs comparison will take time particularly over winrm for large directories.
The SFC check will be skipped if the target system is not windows.
The tool can perform the local scan remotely if the -bp is used with a path to the location of the binary on the remote
machines
