This section describes how to perform the following tasks for an EVS controller:
Setting the EVS controller
Displaying the EVS controller
Setting the properties for the EVS controller
Displaying the properties of the EVS controller
You use the evsadm set-prop command to set the EVS controller on a host. The command syntax is:
# evsadm set-prop -p controller=[value[...,]]
This command sets the values of a property for the host where the command is executed. The only supported property is controller, which can be of the format ssh://[user@]evs-controller-host-name or ssh://[user@]evs-controller-IP-address.
You use the evsadm show-prop command to display the EVS controller. The command syntax is:
# evsadm show-prop [[-c] -o field[,...]] [-p controller[,...]]
Specifies the EVS controller to which the RAD clients must connect.
Specifies a case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. You can specify the following fields, which appear as columns in the output:
Displays all the output fields
Name of the property
Permission of the property, which is either rw or r-
Value of the property
Default value of the property
Display using a stable machine-parseable format. You need to specify the –o option with the –c option.
For an example that shows how to display the EVS controller, see Example 6–1.
You use the evsadm set-controlprop command to set the properties for the EVS controller. The command syntax is:
# evsadm set-controlprop [-h host] -p prop=[value[...,]]
Specifies the host for which the property is set.
Specifies the name of the controller property that is set for an EVS controller. If the property takes multiple values, you must specify the values with a comma as the delimiter. You must specify only one property at a time. If the value is not specified, the property is reset to the default value. For more information about the properties that you can set for an EVS controller, see Table 5–2.
You use the evsadm show-controlprop command to display the properties of an EVS controller. The command syntax is:
# evsadm show-controlprop [[-c] -o field[,...]] [-p prop[,...]]
This command displays the current values of one or more properties for the EVS controller. If properties are not specified for the EVS controller, then all the existing properties for the controller are displayed. For more information about the controller properties, see Table 5–2.
Specifies a case-insensitive, comma-separated list of output fields to display. You can specify the following fields, which appear as columns in the output:
Displays all the output fields.
Name of the property.
Permission of the property, which is either rw or r-.
Value of the property.
Default value of the property.
If the value is --, then the property is global and applicable to all the hosts. Otherwise, the property is applicable to the particular host.
For an example that shows how to display the properties for the EVS controller, see Example 6–1.
