=head1 B<NAME>
B<sinv> - Checks the software configuration of the nodes in the cluster.
=head1 B<SYNOPSIS>
B<sinv> [B<-o> I<output>] B<-p> I<template path> [B<-t> I<template count>] [B<-s> I<seed node>] [B<-i>] [B<-e>] [B<-r>] [B<-V>] [B<--devicetype> I<type_of_device>] [B<-l> I<userID>] {B<-f> I<command file> | B<-c> I<command>}
B<sinv> [B<-h> | B<-v>]
=head1 B<DESCRIPTION>
The B<sinv> command is designed to check the configuration of the nodes in a cluster.
The command takes as input command line flags, and one or more templates which will be compared against the output of the B<xdsh> command, designated to be run by the B<-c> or B<-f> flag, on the nodes in the noderange.
The nodes will then be grouped according to the template they match and a report returned to the administrator in the output file designated by the B<-o> flag, or to stdout.
B<sinv> supports checking the output from the B<rinv> or B<xdsh> command.
The B<sinv> command is an xCAT Distributed Shell Utility.
B<COMMAND> B<SPECIFICATION>:
The B<xdsh> or B<rinv> command to execute on the remote targets is specified by the B<-c> flag, or by the B<-f> flag
which is followed by the fully qualified path to a file containing the command.
Note: do not add B<| xdshcoll> to the command on the command line or in the
command file, it is automatically added by B<sinv>.
The syntax for the B<-c> parameter is as follows:
"I<command>[; I<command>]..."
where I<command> is the command to run on the remote
target. Quotation marks are required to ensure that all commands in the
list are executed remotely, and that any special characters are interpreted
correctly on the remote target.
The B<sinv> command does not work with any interactive commands, including
those that read from standard input.
B<REMOTE> B<SHELL> B<COMMAND>:
For B<xdsh>, support is explicitly provided
for AIX Remote Shell and OpenSSH, but any secure remote command that
conforms to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) Secure Remote
Command Protocol can be used. See man B<xdsh> for more details.
=head1 B<OPTIONS>
=over 5
=item B<-o>|B<--output> I<report output file>
Optional output file. This is the location of the file that will contain the report of the nodes that match, and do not match, the input templates. If the flag is not used, the output will go to stdout.
=item B<-p>|B<--tp> I<template path>
This is the path to the template file. The template contains the output
of B<xdsh> or B<rinv> command, that has been run against a "seed" node, a node
that contains the configuration that you would like all nodes in your noderange to match.
The admin can create the template by running the B<xdsh> or B<rinv> command on
the seed node, pipe to B<xdshcoll> (required) and store the output
in the template path. See examples.
B<Note:> The admin can also edit the template to remove any lines that they do not want checked.
An alternative method is to use the [B<-s> I<seed node>] parameter,
which will automatically build the template for you from the
seed node named.
If a a seed node is not provided, then command will automatically use the first node in the noderange as
the seed node.
=item B<-t>|B<--tc> I<template count>
This count is the number of templates that the command will use
to check for nodes matches. If the template in the template path does not
match a node, the B<sinv> will check additional templates up
to the template count.
For each node, it will compare the node against each template to see if
there is a match.
If there is no match, and we are not over the template count,
then a new template will be created from the node output.
This will result in having all nodes that match a given template reported in
their group at the end of the run in the output file.
If no template count is specified, 0 is the default, and all nodes will
be compared against the first template.
=item B<-s>|B<--seed> I<seed node>
This is the node that will be used to build the first template
that is stored in template path. You can use this parameter instead of running
the command yourself to build the template.
B<Note:> If no seed node is supplied, the first node in the noderange is automatically
selected as a seed node.
=item B<-i>|B<--ignorefirst>
This flag suppresses the reporting of the nodes matching the first
template. In very large systems, you may not want to show the nodes that
have the correct configuration, since the list could contain thousands of nodes.
This allows you to only report the nodes that do not match the required
configuration.
=item B<-e>|B<--exactmatch>
This requires the check of node output against template to be an exact match.
If this flag is not set, B<sinv> checks to see if the return from the
B<xdsh> or B<rinv> command to the nodes contain a match for each line in the input
template (except for xdshcoll header and comments). If not in exactmatch mode,
there can be more lines in the B<xdsh> or B<rinv> return from the nodes.
For example, if running a "rpm -qa | grep xCAT" command, without exactmatch
set, if the node contains more xCAT rpms that listed in the template,
it would be considered a match, as long as all rpms listed in the template
were on the node. With exactmatch set, the output must be identical
to the template.
=item B<--devicetype> I<type_of_device>
Specify a user-defined device type that references the location
of relevant device configuration file. The devicetype value must
correspond to a valid device configuration file.
xCAT ships some default configuration files
for Ethernet switches and IB switches under
I</opt/xcat/share/xcat/devicetype> directory. If you want to overwrite
any of the configuration files, copy them to I</var/opt/xcat/>
directory and cutomize.
For example, I<base/IBSwitch/Qlogic/config> is the configuration
file location if devicetype is specified as IBSwitch::Qlogic.
xCAT will first search config file using I</var/opt/xcat/> as the base.
If not found, it will search for it using
I</opt/xcat/share/xcat/devicetype/> as the base.
=item B<-l>|B<--user> I<user_ID>
Specifies a remote user name to use for remote command execution.
=item B<-c>|B<--command>
The B<xdsh> or B<rinv> command that will be run. The command should be enclosed in
double quotes to insure correct shell interpretation. This parameter must only contain, the node range or the image path (Linux) or spot name for AIX. It cannot be used to set additional input flags to B<xdsh> or B<rinv> (for example B<-s>,B<-T>,B<-e>). See examples below.
B<Note:> do not add the B<| xdshcoll> to the command,
it is automatically added by B<sinv>. B<sinv> also automatically sets the B<-v> flag for B<xdsh>.
=item B<-f>|B<--file>
The file containing the B<xdsh> or B<rinv> command that will be run.
This should be the fully qualified name of the file.
B<Note:> do not add the B<| xdshcoll> to the command in the file,
it is automatically added by B<sinv>.
=item B<-r>|B<--remove>
This flag indicates that generated templates should be removed at the
at the end of the B<sinv> command execution.
If the flag is specified, then all templates that are generated by the B<sinv>
command, will be removed. If the first template is created by the admin,
it will not be removed.
If the flag is not specified, no
templates will be removed. It is up to the admin to cleanup templates.
=item B<-h>|B<--help>
Displays usage information.
=item B<-v>|B<--version>
Displays xCAT release version.
=item B<-V>|B<--Verbose>
Verbose mode.

xdsh node1,node2 "rpm -qa | grep ssh " | xdshcoll > /tmp/sinv.template
Note: when setting up the template the output of B<xdsh> must be piped to B<xdshcoll>, B<sinv> processing depends on it.

on the nodegroup, I<testnodes> ,possibly generating up to two
new templates, and removing all generated templates in the end, and writing
output report to /tmp/sinv.output, enter:
sinv -c "xdsh testnodes rpm -qa | grep ssh" -p /tmp/sinv.template -t 2 -r -o /tmp/sinv.output
Note: do not add the pipe to B<xdshcoll> on the B<-c> flag, it is automatically added by the B<sinv>.
