o2cb_ctl - Control program for the O2CB cluster service.

o2cb_ctl -C -n object -t type [-i] [-a attribute ]
o2cb_ctl -D -n object [-u]
o2cb_ctl -I [-o-z] -l manager> [-n object>] [-t type] [-a attribute]
o2cb_ctl -H [-n object] [-t type>] [-a attribute>]
o2cb_ctl -h
o2cb_ctl -V

o2cb_ctl is the control program for the O2CB cluster service. Users are not advised to use this program directly but instead use the O2CB init service and/or ocfs2console.

Create an object in the OCFS2 Cluster Configuration.

Delete an object from the existing OCFS2 Cluster Configuration.

Print information about the OCFS2 Cluster Configuration.

Change an object or objects in the existing OCFS2 Cluster Configuration.

Displays help and exit.

Print version and exit.

With -C, <attribute> is in format "parameter=value", where the parameter is a valid parameter that can be set in the file /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf. With -I, <attribute> may be "parameter", indicating an attribute to be listed in the output, or it may be "parameter==value", indicating that only objects matching "parameter=value" are to be displayed.

Valid only with -C. When creating something (node or cluster), it will also install it in the live cluster. If the parameter is not specified, then only update the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf.

object is usually the node name or cluster name. In the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file, it would be the value of the name parameter for any of the sections (cluster or node).

Valid only with -I. Using this parameter, if one asks o2cb_ctl to list all nodes, it will output it in a format suitable for shell parsing.

type can be cluster, node or heartbeat.

Valid only with -D. When deleting something (node or cluster), it will also remove it from the live cluster. If the parameter is not specified, then only update the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf.

Valid only with -I. This is the default. If one asks o2cb_ctl to list all nodes, it will give a verbose listing.

Add node5 to an offline cluster:

$ o2cb_ctl -C -n node5 -t node -a number=5
-a ip_address=192.168.0.5 -a ip_port=7777
-a cluster=mycluster

$ o2cb_ctl -C -i -n node10 -t node -a number=10
-a ip_address=192.168.1.10 -a ip_port=7777
-a cluster=mycluster

Note the -i argument.

$ o2cb_ctl -I -n node5 -a ip_address

$ o2cb_ctl -H -n node5 -a ip_address=192.168.1.5
