Common Tool Options
5.1.7.1.1
Chassis List File Format
Below is a sample chassis file:
# this is a comment
192.168.0.5# chassis IP address
edge1
include /etc/sysconfig/iba/corechassis # included file
Each line of the chassis list file may specify a single chassis, a comment or
another chassis that list file to include.
A chassis may be specified by chassis management network IP address or a
resolvable TCP/IP name. Typically names are used for readability.
Files to be included may be specified via an include directive followed by a file
name. File names specified should generally be absolute path names. If relative
path names are used, they will be searched for within the current directory then
/etc/sysconfig/iba.
Comments may be placed on any line. By using a # to precede the comment.
On lines with chassis or include directives, the # must be white space
separated from any preceding name, IP address or included file name.
5.1.7.2
Explicit Chassis names
When chassis are explicitly specified via the -H option or the CHASSIS
environment variable, a space separated list of names (or IP addresses) may
be supplied. For example: -H 'chassis1 chassis2 chassis3'.
5.1.7.3
Selection of slots within a chassis
Normally, operations are performed against the management card in the chassis.
For operations such as cmdall, the command is executed against the
management interface for the given chassis. For more sophisticated operations
such as firmware update, a directory with firmware for each chassis card type
can be supplied and all cards in the chassis will be updated with the appropriate
firmware from that directory.
However, in some cases it may be desirable to perform operations against a
specific subset of cards within the chassis. In this case the chassis IP address
or name within a chassis list or a chassis file can be augmented with a list of slot
numbers on which to operate. This is done in the form:
5-6
# chassis resolvable TCP/IP name
chassis:slot1,slot2,...
