How to find out which member peers are running a given chaincode?

When a chaincode is instantiated on a channel, you don't need all member peers to install the chaincode and run it. But we have to have some member peers to install and run it. Otherwise, no transactions can be performed on this chaincode instance.

Let's use the BYFN network as an example to find out which member peers are actually have the chaincode installed and kept running.

1. Connect to the CLI container:

$ docker exec -it cli bash
bash-4.4#

2. Check installed and instantiated chaincode list on each peer with the help peer switching scripts:

bash-4.4# source peer0-org1.sh
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list --installed
   Get installed chaincodes on peer:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/chaincode/chaincode_example02/...
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list -C mychannel --instantiated
   Get instantiated chaincodes on channel mychannel:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/chaincode/chaincode_example02/...

bash-4.4# source peer1-org1.sh
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list --installed
   Get installed chaincodes on peer:
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list -C mychannel --instantiated
   Get instantiated chaincodes on channel mychannel:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Escc: escc, Vscc: vscc

bash-4.4# source peer0-org2.sh
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list --installed
   Get installed chaincodes on peer:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/chaincode/chaincode_example02/...
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list -C mychannel --instantiated
   Get instantiated chaincodes on channel mychannel:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/chaincode/chaincode_example02/...
   
bash-4.4# source peer1-org2.sh
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list --installed
   Get installed chaincodes on peer:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/chaincode/chaincode_example02/...
bash-4.4# peer chaincode list -C mychannel --instantiated
   Get instantiated chaincodes on channel mychannel:
   Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/chaincode/chaincode_example02/...

As you can see, all 4 peers are members of "mychannel" channel. But only 3 peers, peer0-org1, peer0-org2, and peer1-org2, have "mycc" chaincode installed and running.

1 peer, peer1-org1, does not have "mycc" chaincode installed. But it maintains a copy channel ledger (Blockchain and World State). So it is still synchronized with the latest property values of "mycc" chaincode.
