nodegroup.5

NAME

nodegroup - a table in the xCAT database.

SYNOPSIS

nodegroup Attributes: groupname, grouptype, members, membergroups, wherevals, comments, disable

DESCRIPTION

Contains group definitions, whose membership is dynamic depending on characteristics of the node.

nodegroup Attributes:

groupname

Name of the group.

grouptype

The only current valid value is dynamic. We will be looking at having the object def commands working with static group definitions in the nodelist table.

members

The value of the attribute is not used, but the attribute is necessary as a place holder for the object def commands. (The membership for static groups is stored in the nodelist table.)

membergroups

This attribute stores a comma-separated list of nodegroups that this nodegroup refers to. This attribute is only used by PCM.

wherevals

A list of “attr*val” pairs that can be used to determine the members of a dynamic group, the delimiter is “::” and the operator * can be ==, =~, != or !~.

comments

Any user-written notes.

disable

Set to ‘yes’ or ‘1’ to comment out this row.
