Curious: Again fairly new to the PCM environment. An operator asked me how to shutdown the entire 6 node VAXcluster from PCM. I was showing him how to connect to each console with a separate window. He thought that from PCM he could shutdown the entire cluster with one window, one command. I am now curious: what do other sites with many nodes do? Use SYSMAN from one node?? Appreciating any responses.

it is possible to use scripting. This is where you use the Monitor interface and send down a script file to all the nodes you are monitoring. However, to do what you want the script file would have to contain the username and password of a privileged account - not good. Shaun | |||||

I'm setting up new VCS systems and am trying to locate a VCS kit because PCM doesn't support one of the most heavily used features of VCS: VCS> output node1,node2,logicalname,... "text string" However, for the case of shutting down VMS, the best way to do it is to use sysman: $mc sysman sysman> set env/cl sysman> shut node/cluster That works as well or better than issuing the same command on each node's console. |
