5 – Detailed Descriptions of Command LineTools
Basic Setup and Administration Tools
The above example creates a hostcapture directory in
./uploads/<HOSTNAME>/ for each host in
/etc/sysconfig/iba/hosts then creates hostcapture.all.tgz.
captureall mycapture
The above example creates a mycapture directory in
./uploads/<HOSTNAME>/ for each host in
/etc/sysconfig/iba/hosts then creates mycapture.all.tgz.
captureall -h 'arwen elrond' 030127capture
Chassis Capture Examples:
captureall -C
The above example creates a chassiscapture file in
./uploads/<CHASSISNAME>/ for each chassis in
/etc/sysconfig/iba/chassis then creates
chassiscapture.all.tgz.
captureall -C mycapture
The above example creates a mycapture.tgz file in
./uploads/<CHASSISNAME>/ for each chassis in
/etc/sysconfig/iba/chassis then creates mycapture.all.tgz.
captureall -C -H 'chassis1 chassis2' 030127capture
Environment Variables
The following environment variables are also used by this command:
HOSTS, HOSTS_FILE - see discussion on selection of hosts above.
CHASSIS, CHASSIS_FILE - see discussion on selection of chassis above.
UPLOADS_DIR - directory to upload to, used in absence of -d.
FF_MAX_PARALLEL -maximum number of parallel operations to perform at
once.
FF_CHASSIS_LOGIN_METHOD - how to login to chassis. Can be SSH or
telnet.
FF_CHASSIS_ADMIN_PASSWORD - password for administrator on all chassis.
Used in absence of -S option.
When performing captureall against hosts, internally SSH is used. The command
captureall requires that password-less SSH be setup between the host
running Fast Fabric and the hosts captureall is operating against. The
setup_ssh Fast Fabric tool can aid in setting up password-less SSH.
When performing captureall against a set of chassis, all chassis must be
configured with the same administrator password.
