To verify SSH connectivity in a NSP DR cluster

Purpose

Perform the following procedure to verify that the standby nsp-file-service-app pod can SSH to the primary nspos pod.

Steps
 
1 

Enter the following as the root or NSP admin user on the NSP cluster host in the standby data center:

# kubectl exec -n $(kubectl get pods -A | awk '/nsp-file-service-app/ {print $1;exit}') nsp-file-service-app-0 -it -- bash ↵

A root shell opens on the nsp-file-service-app pod.


2 

Enter the following to attempt an SSH connection to the primary nspos pod:

# ssh -i /opt/nsp/apps/nsp-file-service-app/nspSSHcerts/hostcert -p 8566 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no address ↵

where address is the NSP cluster advertised address of the active data cluster

If the command returns an error message, the SSH connection attempt has failed.


3 

If the connection attempt fails, resolve the connection issue; you must not attempt a DR switchover unless the problem is resolved.
