Verifying the RLINK

Last published : Jun 12, 2026
Use the vxrlink verify command to verify the configuration status for the specified RLINK or RVG. This information is useful in determining the reason why the Secondary is in the config error state.
Note: The Secondary may be in a paused state due to a configuration error. If a new configuration error is introduced when the Secondary is already in configuration error state, then the new configuration error is not reflected in the output of thevxrlink verifycommand until the Secondary is resumed.
The vxrlink verify command can be run either from the Primary or Secondary host. This command is displayed as:
RLINK REMOTE HOST LOCAL HOST STATUS STATE
The information that is displayed consists of the name of the RLINK, the local host that it is connected to, and the remote host that it is connected to. STATUS displays whether the RLINK is verified (OK) or there is some configuration error (ERROR). If the STATUS is ERROR, then a detailed message describing the configuration error is displayed below this. STATE displays the RLINK state.
