DESCRIPTION

       hcheck  is  the  cluster checker.  It prints information about cluster's health and checks
       whether a rebalance done using hbal would help.

       This information can be presented in both human-readable and machine-readable way.

       Note that it does not take any action, only performs a rebalance simulation if necessary.

       For more information about the algorithm details check hbal(1).

       Additionally, hcheck also checks if the cluster is globally N+1 redundant.   That  is,  it
       checks for every node, if after failing over the DRBD instances all instances on that node
       that with disks externally stored can be restarted on some other node.

OPTIONS

       --no-simulation
              Only perform checks based on current cluster  state,  without  trying  to  simulate
              rebalancing.

       --no-capacity-checks
              Do  not  check  for  global N+1 redundancy, i.e., do not warn if the shared-storage
              instances of one node cannot be moved to the others should that node fail.

       For a detailed description about the options  listed  above  have  a  look  at  htools(1),
       hspace(1) and hbal(1).
