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] [-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 conserver.cf file. If a noderange is specified, it will write on 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.

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|--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¶

0 The command completed successfully.

1 An error has occurred.
