The following example demonstrates using bcmadmin to verify a successful Business Continuity Manager installation.

| Output | Description | Status |

| Sequencers |
|
When Business Continuity Manager is functioning properly, one Sequencer (region1_seq-fastcop1) should be in the Active state. The second Sequencer (region2_seq-bltorcop1) should be in the standby state (the sub-state can be synchronizing, syncing, synced or synchronized). For more information, see SEQUENCER STATUS. |
| Endpoints |
|
All Endpoints (region1_ept, region2_ept) should be connected. Each IP address should be in the proper listening/not listening state (10.25.1.4(not listening)). Endpoints listen on all default IP addresses, and not listen on standby IP addresses (unless requested to do so specifically by the Sequencer). If an Endpoint is not connected, "not connected" appears instead of a list of associated IP addresses. |
| Systems |
|
The first list shows the flash system, which is in the unrecoverable state. There are currently no objects in the Business Continuity Manager dictionary, so that count of tables in each state is 0. There are two dispatchers defined. Dispatcher (region2_dsp_flash) is in Standby state, and is not connected to the Sequencer (state: down). Dispatcher (region1_dsp_flash) is the Active dispatcher, and is connected to the Sequencer (state: up). |
| Alerts |
|
There should be no critical alerts, but warning alerts can show up as part of normal system operation and do not need to be cleared. Normal alerts can appear during system startup. To see all open alerts in a system, use the ALERT LIST OPEN command. |
