== How to query the status of the nodes of a Testbed ==

If you have not done so yet: 

 * [http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Registration Register] for an account
 * [https://www.orbit-lab.org/schedule/ Make a reservation] on the Schedular for a given tesbed

Lets assume that you registered as user 'bob' and made a reservation for the 'grid' testbed. You then access the 'grid' console using the command:

 {{{
  ssh bob@console.grid.orbit-lab.org
 }}}

Then, to query the status of some nodes on the 'grid' testbed, use the command:

 {{{
  statnode all
  # will query the status of the entire set of 20x20 nodes on the 'grid'
  
  statnode 3,1 5,6 1,1..2 
  # will query the status of nodes 3,1 and 5,6 and 1,1 and 1,2

 }}}
