hosting a management node role.
Note: Run the CLI command lsnode.
v If you get output from lsnode that shows the system configuration (as in
Example 1), proceed to step 2.
v If you get a message that the management service is stopped or is not
running (as in Example 2), attempt to log out and log in to the other file
module hosting a management node role. If the other file module is not
responding, refer to "Performing management node role failover procedures
for failure conditions" on page 167.
Example 1: System configuration output from lsnode displays similar to the
following example:
