Installing and Updating the OVO Configuration on the Managed Nodes
Selective Distribution of User-selected Files to Managed Nodes
The first word represents the node group name, for example DBSPI
and sap, and the second word represents either a file name prefix or
an individual file.
For example, dbspi and r3 are file name prefixes, and ntwdblib.dll
and sap-mode.sh are individual files.
NOTE All file names are treated as prefixes. For example, the file name
ntwdblib.dll would also stand for ntwdblib.dll.old.
The same node group can be specified several times and thus it is
possible to specify multiple prefixes, file names, or both for the same
node group.
The same prefix can be specified for several node groups. This is the
case where several SPIs may share a common subset of files. An
example is the PeopleSoft SPI which ships certain DBSPI files that
are used on a PeopleSoft database server.
The relevant lines of the seldist file are:
DBSPI dbspi
PS_DB_Server dbspi
A file matching the dbspi prefix, for example, dbspicao, is
distributed to a node only if that node belongs to either of the node
groups DBSPI or “PS DB Server”. Similarly, it is even possible specify
prefixes that are subsets of each other.
NOTE Any files that do not display in the seldist file or do not match any
of the listed prefixes, will always be distributed to all nodes, in the
same way as they would be distributed to all nodes if the seldist
functionality is not enabled.
To use node groups with spaces, put them in double quotes in
/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/seldlist file.
If a node group does not contain spaces, quoting is not necessary.
For example:
"node group 1" prefix1
Node group names may be localized.
