ping-node-dcom

tests if a node that is enabled for communication over DCOM is usable

Synopsis

asadmin [asadmin-options] ping-node-dcom [--help]
[--validate={false|true}] node-name

Description

The ping-node-dcom subcommand tests if a node that is enabled for communication over the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) remote protocol is usable. The DCOM protocol is available only on Windows systems. This subcommand requires DCOM to be configured on the machine where the domain administration server (DAS) is running and on the machine where the node resides. You may run this command from any machine that can contact the DAS.

If the node is usable, the subcommand displays a confirmation that the subcommand could connect to the node through DCOM. This confirmation includes the name of the host that the node represents.

Optionally, the subcommand can also validate the node to determine if the asadmin(1M) utility can run on the host that the node represents. To validate a node, the subcommand runs the version(1) subcommand. If the node is valid, the subcommand displays the version that the version subcommand returns.

The node that is specified as the operand of this subcommand must be enabled for communication over DCOM. If the node is not enabled for communication over DCOM, an error occurs. To determine whether a node is enabled for communication over DCOM, use the list-nodes(1) subcommand.

Note

To test whether a node that is enabled for communication over secure shell (SSH) is usable, use the ping-node-ssh(1) subcommand.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

The name of the node to test. The node must be enabled for communication over DCOM. Otherwise, an error occurs.
