okay bestie, welcome to the MEATCLIENT(8) page — yes that's the System administration utilities section, we're in the big-girl part of the manual fr fr 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

meatclient — manually confirm that a node has been removed from the cluster 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

meatclient -c nodename

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like, meatclient is the vibe check for your cluster. It confirms that a node has been manually removed from the cluster. That's it, that's the job, and it ate. 👑

The way it works is it instructs the cluster manager — through the meatware STONITH plugin — that it is safe to continue cluster operations. Basically you're telling the cluster "yeah bestie I handled it myself, you can keep going" and the cluster is like "okay periodt" and resumes. ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

The following options are supported:

• -c nodename — nodename is the name of the cluster node that has been fenced. That's the one you're confirming got removed, so type it exactly, no typos, no autocorrect shenanigans. 💀
