=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
B<makehosts> - sets up /etc/hosts from the xCAT hosts table.
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<makehosts> [B<-n>] [I<noderange>] [B<-l>|B<--longnamefirst>]
|
|
|
|
B<makehosts> {B<-h>|B<--help>}
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
B<makehosts> updates the /etc/hosts file based on entries in the hosts table in the xCAT database.
|
|
If your node hostnames and IP addresses follow a regular pattern, you can use just a few regular expressions
|
|
in the hosts table and then easily generate /etc/hosts using makehosts.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 6
|
|
|
|
=item B<-n>
|
|
|
|
Completely replace the /etc/hosts file, losing any previous content. If this option is not specified,
|
|
it will only replace the lines in the file that correspond to the nodes in the specified noderange.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-l>|B<--longnamefirst>
|
|
|
|
The long name of the host will appear before the short name for each host in the /etc/hosts file.
|
|
The default is short name first.

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
=over 2
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
If the xCAT hosts table contains:
|
|
|
|
"compute","|node(\d+)|1.2.3.($1+0)|","|(.*)|($1).cluster.net|",,
|
|
|
|
Assuming the group "compute" contains node01, node02, etc., then in /etc/hosts they will be given
|
|
IP addresses of 1.2.3.1, 1.2.3.2, etc.
