makeconservercf.8¶
NAME¶
makeconservercf - creates the conserver configuration file from info in the xCAT database
SYNOPSIS¶
makeconservercf [-V|--verbose] [-d|--delete] [noderange]
makeconservercf [-V|--verbose] [-C|--cleanup]
makeconservercf [-V|--verbose] [-l|--local] [noderange]
makeconservercf [-V|--verbose] [-c|--conserver] [noderange]
makeconservercf [-V|--verbose] noderange [-t|--trust] hosts
makeconservercf [-h|--help|-v|--version]
DESCRIPTION¶
The makeconservercf command will write out the /etc/conserver.cf, using information from the nodehm table and related tables (e.g. mp, ipmi, ppc). Normally, makeconservercf will write all nodes to the /etc/conserver.cf file. If a noderange is specified, it will write only those nodes to the file. In either case, if a node does not have nodehm.cons set, it will not be written to the file.
If -d is specified, makeconservercf will remove specified nodes from /etc/conserver.cf file. If noderange is not specified, all xCAT nodes will be removed from /etc/conserver.cf file.
If -C|--cleanup is specified, makeconservercf will remove console configuration entries from /etc/conserver.cf for the nodes whose definitions have been removed from xCATdb. Don’t specify any noderange.
In the case of a hierarchical cluster (i.e. one with service nodes) makeconservercf will determine which nodes will have their consoles accessed from the management node and which from a service node (based on the nodehm.conserver attribute). The /etc/conserver.cf file will be created accordingly on all relevant management/service nodes. If -l is specified, it will only create the local file.
OPTIONS¶
-d|--delete
Delete rather than add or refresh the nodes specified as a noderange.
-C|--cleanup
Remove the entries for the nodes whose definitions have been removed from xCAT db.
-c|--conserver
Only set up the conserver on the conserver host. If no conserver host is set for nodes, the conserver gets set up only on the management node.
-l|--local
Only run makeconservercf locally and create the local /etc/conserver.cf. The default is to also run it on all service nodes, if there are any.
-t|--trust hosts
Add additional trusted hosts into /etc/conserver.cf. The hosts are comma separated list of ip addresses or host names.
-v|--version
Display version.
-V|--verbose
Verbose mode.
-h|--help
Display usage message.
RETURN VALUE¶
- The command completed successfully.
- An error has occurred.
EXAMPLES¶
- To create conserver configuration for all the nodes.
makeconservercf
- To create conserver configuration for nodes node01-node10.
makeconservercf node01-node10
- To remove conserver configuration for node01.
makeconservercf -d node01
