The simpleSteps Element
The <simpleSteps> element is a child of the <executionPlan> and <inlineSubplan> elements and contains one or more “shared” or “simple plan only” steps. The presence of a <simpleStep> element indicates that the plan is a simple (as opposed to composite) plan. When run, the steps within this element will be sequentially executed on a set of logical target hosts chosen by the caller.
simpleSteps Element attributes
|
Name |
Type |
Required |
Description |
|
executionMode |
One of: PARALLEL SERIES |
No |
Whether the contained steps should be executed in series or in parallel over the target hosts. If unspecified, PARALLEL is used. |
|
limitToHostSet |
String |
No |
The name of the host set containing the hosts that are considered valid logical targets for this plan, as described below. |
The simpleSteps limitToHostSet Attribute
The limitToHostSet attribute of the <simpleSteps> element specifies the name of the host set containing the hosts that are considered valid targets for this plan. If unspecified, all hosts are considered valid targets. Otherwise, the targets specified by the client must be a subset of the hosts contained in the named host set. If the targets include a host not contained in the named host set, it is a plan run time error. It is also a plan run time error to specify a name that does not correspond to an existing host set. The plan run time errors described here are reported during validation before preflight starts.
Child Elements of the simpleSteps Elements
The <simpleSteps> element children consist of one or more “shared” or “simple plan only” steps. These steps may include references to plan parameters and variables.
See Simple Plan-only Steps for details.
