# Connectivity & CVM Basics

#### Connectivity

Quick check: which cluster services aren't running

```bash
cluster status | grep -v UP
```

Test network connectivity between CVMs

```bash
ping_cvms
```

#### CVM Basics

Gracefully shut down a CVM

```bash
cvm_shutdown -P now
```

Check whether the metadata store is enabled on a host

```bash
ncli host ls | grep "Metadata store status"
```

Where CVM packet-drop / latency issues get logged

```bash
/home/nutanix/data/logs/sysstats/ping_*.INFO
```
