如果安装过10g以后的RAC环境，应该对这个工具并不陌生。在安装Cluster和Database之前通常会执行runcluvfy.sh脚本来检查当前系统是否满足安装条件。
这篇介绍comp相关选项。
 
 
在安装RAC时，由于cluvfy工具还没有被安装，而runcluvfy.sh将cluvfy工具的功能在shell中实现，并和安装盘一起提供，使得用户在数据库和CLUSTER安装之前就可以利用这个工具的功能。
这个工具的主要作用就是验证系统是否满足安装的条件。
这个工具拥有众多的选项，因此不可能也没有必要详细的描述所有的选项，如果从大类上分，这个工具可以分成两个大类选项：comp用来验证组件的功能；stage用来验证部署功能。
可以通过comp –list来列出所有cluvfy工具支持验证的组件：
bash-2.03$ cluvfy comp -list

 
USAGE:

cluvfy comp  <component-name> <component-specific options>  [-verbose]

Valid components are:

        nodereach : checks reachability between nodes

        nodecon   : checks node connectivity

        ssa       : checks shared storage accessibility

        space     : checks space availability

        sys       : checks minimum system requirements

        clu       : checks cluster integrity

        clumgr    : checks cluster manager integrity

        ocr       : checks OCR integrity

        crs       : checks CRS integrity

        nodeapp   : checks node applications existence

        admprv    : checks administrative privileges

        peer      : compares properties with peers

其中nodereach、nodecon和sys等组件都是安装Cluster环境必不可少的检查选项：
bash-2.03$ cluvfy comp nodereach -n racnode1,racnode2        

Verifying node reachability

Checking node reachability...

Node reachability check passed from node "racnode2".

 
Verification of node reachability was successful.

其中-n选项中指定节点列表，在节点列表中的逗号前后都不能包括空格，否则会报错。
bash-2.03$ cluvfy comp nodereach -n racnode1,racnode2 -verbose

Verifying node reachability

Checking node reachability...

Check: Node reachability from node "racnode2"

  Destination Node                      Reachable?             

  ------------------------------------  ------------------------

  racnode1                              yes                    

  racnode2                              yes                    

Result: Node reachability check passed from node "racnode2".

 
Verification of node reachability was successful.

使用-verbose会得到更加详细的信息。
bash-2.03$ cluvfy comp nodecon -n racnode1,racnode2 -verbose

其中导致监测失败的原因是Oracle的bug，Oracle认为172.25开头的IP地址无法作为PUBLIC地址，这个在以前安装RAC的时候提到过很多次了。
