Managing Clusters
Administering a Cluster from the CLI
For machines that are part of a cluster, the CLI can be switched into different modes. Recall that a mode
refers to a specific, named, member of a level.
The CLI mode determines precisely where a configuration setting will be modified. The default is
“machine” mode for the machine the user logged into, the “login host.”
Use the clustermode command to switch between different modes. For example:
Table 8-1 Administering Clusters
Command Example Description
clustermode Prompt to switch cluster mode
clustermode group northamerica Switch to group mode for the
group “northamerica”
clustermode machine losangeles.example.com Switch to machine mode for the
machine “losangeles”
The prompt in the CLI changes to indicate your current mode, e.g.
(Cluster Americas)>
or
(Machine losangeles.example.com)>
In machine mode, the prompt will include the fully qualified domain name of the machine.
Copying and Moving Settings
All non-restricted (see Restricted Commands, page 8-15) commands have new operations: CLUSTERSHOW
and CLUSTERSET. CLUSTERSHOW is used to show in which modes a command is configured (see New
Operation Added, page 8-15). The CLUSTERSET operation allows you to move or copy the current settings
(configurable with the current command) from one mode to another or between levels (e.g. from a
machine to a group).
A copy retains the settings for the current mode. A move resets (clears) the configuration of the current
mode; i.e., following a move, no settings will be configured for the current mode.
