NAME

nodeconfig - Show or change node configuration

SYNOPSIS

nodeconfig [options] <noderange> [setting|setting=value]

DESCRIPTION

nodeconfig manages the configuration of nodes managed by confluent. Rather than manipulating the confluent database, this actually modifies the running configuration on the node firmware. Calling without '=' will show the current value, and '=' will change the value. Network information can be given as a node expression, as documented in the man page for nodeattribexpressions(5).

Note that when using nodeconfig to submit changes, it will exit when the change is accepted, but the endpoint may not have fully processed it. Doing a show immediately after doing a set may reflect older information. Also, if changing BIOS/UEFI settings, the change may appear in output, but generally won't actually be in effect until a reboot.

OPTIONS

-c, --comparedefault
Take the given settings and compare against default value, if available. If no configuration values are specified, it will show only those that differ. If combined with -x, will show all differing values except those indicated by -x
-b settings.batch, --batch=settings.batch
Provide arguments as lines of a file, rather than the command line.
-d, --detail
Provide detailed data as available. This can include help text and valid values for a setting.
-e, --extra
Read settings that are generally not needed, but may be slow to retrieve. Notably this includes the IMM category of Lenovo systems. The most popular IMM settings are available through faster 'bmc' attributes.
-x, --exclude
Rather than listing only the specified configuration parameters, list all attributes except for the specified ones
-a, --advanced
Include advanced settings, which are normally not intended to be used without direction from the relevant server vendor.
-r COMPONENT, --restoredefault=COMPONENT
Request that the specified component of the targeted nodes will have its configuration reset to default. Currently the only component implemented is uefi.
-m MAXNODES, --maxnodes=MAXNODES
Specify a maximum number of nodes to configure, prompting if over the threshold
-h, --help
Show help message and exit

EXAMPLES

Showing the current IP configuration of noderange BMC/IMM/XCC
# nodeconfig s3,s4 bmc
s3: bmc.ipv4_address: 172.30.254.193/16
s3: bmc.ipv4_method: DHCP
s3: bmc.ipv4_gateway: 172.30.0.6
s4: bmc.ipv4_address: 172.30.254.192/16
s4: bmc.ipv4_method: DHCP
s4: bmc.ipv4_gateway: 172.30.0.6
Changing nodes s3 and s4 to have the ip addressess 10.1.2.3 and 10.1.2.4 with a 16 bit subnet mask
# nodeconfig s3,s4 bmc.ipv4_address=10.1.2.{n1}/16
