  fabric_ctl commands

Options

These options work with all Fabric Control commands.

Note. Many of the options take an argument. You may insert a space between the option and the argument, or you may combine the option and argument together. For example, fabric_ctl -d239.255.1.2:30000 is equivalent to fabric_ctl -d 239.255.1.2:30000.

Option Argument Description
-d address:port The MCAST address used to locate the fabric. By default fabric_ctl uses the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS to determine what fabric to connect to. Using the -d option, you may connect to a different fabric. If you do not set the default fabric MCAST address and port using the environment variable FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS, you must use the -d parameter with every command. Below is the syntax for connecting to another fabric using the -d parameter. For example 
fabric_ctl -d239.255.0.1:30000 ...

will attempt to connect to a fabric at 239.255.0.1:30000 (see addr.cfg for information on setting the fabric address).
-q timeout The amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for a response from the fabric. The default is 30000 (30 seconds).
-t ttl-value The time-to-live of the MCAST packets sent when locating the fabric. This specifies the number of hops (routers, gateways, etc.) through which the packet is to be passed (support of this field is dependent on the routers on your network). The value can be be any number between 0 and 255. The default value is 1. A value of 0 indicates that the MCAST packets should not leave the local computer (useful during development when working on a fabric with a single member).
-u username/password The username and password credentials needed to access the fabric as an administrator, separated with a "/". Credentials are needed for every fabric_ctl command. See the [login command#login] for details on how to supply default credentials to each command.
-h command Displays help information on a fabric_ctl command. The command is optional. fabric_ctl -h will display general usage of all commands.

Commands

Deploy

The deploy command adds a new application to the fabric or updates an application or configuration file.

Note. This command is not used to deploy the addr.cfg file. Refer to the put-addr command for deploying the addr.cfg file.

Examples

Add or update a file after previously logging into the fabric specified in the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS environment variable.

fabric_ctl deploy <file name>
fabric_ctl deploy fabric.cfg

Sometimes a file's name will contain the version of the file, such as "libeay32_0.9.8.dll". In this circumstance, use only the base name of the file, with no extension, as follows:

fabric_ctl fabric-version libeay32 all

Fabric-version-detail

The fabric-version-detail command returns a list of the version of a specified file, Appistry EAF, configuration file, operating system, or application, running on each worker in the fabric. If a file is not specified, the manifest version is returned.

Login

The login command allows access to a fabric and applications. If the user name and/or password are not included, a prompt for the missing information appears.

Arguments
user name An identifier, along with a password, that allows access to a fabric and applications.
password A secret series of characters, along with a user name, that allows access to a fabric and applications.
Examples

Login to the fabric specified in the environment FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS variable, and create a password file.

fabric_ctl login <user name> <password>
fabric_ctl login jill_jones d44rw1y

Login to a fabric other than the one specified in the environment variable FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS or if this environment variable is not set.

fabric_ctl -d <MulticastAddress:port> login <user name> <password>
fabric_ctl -d 239.255.0.2:30000 login jill_jones d44rw1y

Logout

The logout command ends the fabric_ctl session and destroys the text in the password file containing your user name and encrypted password.

Examples

Log out of the fabric specified in the environment FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS variable, and destroy the text in the password file.

fabric_ctl logout

Log out of the fabric if the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS environment variable is not set, or from a specific fabric.

fabric_ctl -d <MulticastAddress:port> logout
fabric_ctl -d 239.255.0.2:30000 logout

Put-addr

The put-addr command deploys the addr.cfg file to the specified worker. You must specify the IP addresses of the workers that are to receive the updated addr.cfg file. The put-addr command does not include the ability to deploy the addr.cfg to all workers in the fabric at once. The reason for this is that by changing the worker's addr.cfg file, you are effectively moving the worker to a new fabric. For example, using the put-addr command, you could take a ten worker fabric, and specify that three workers move to a different address, effectively creating a seven worker fabric and a separate three worker fabric.

Examples

Update the addr.cfg file after previously logging into the fabric specified in the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS environment variable.

fabric_ctl put-addr <IPaddress> <IPaddress> ...
fabric_ctl put-addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2

Update the adder.cfg file if the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS environment variable is not set, after previously logging into the fabric.

fabric_ctl -d <MulticastAddress:port> put-addr <IPaddress> <IPaddress> ...
fabric_ctl -d 239.255.0.1:30000 put-addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2

Update the addr.cfg file in the fabric specified in the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS environment variable, without previously logging into the fabric.

fabric_ctl -u <user name>/<password> put-addr <IPaddress> <IPaddress> ...
fabric_ctl -u jill_jones/d44rw1y put-addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2

Update the addr.cfg file if the FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS environment variable is not set, or in a specific fabric, without previously logging into the fabric.

fabric_ctl -d <MulticastAddress:port> -u <user name>/<password> put-addr <IPaddress> <IPaddress> ...
fabric_ctl -d 239.255.0.1:30000 -u jill_jones/d44rw1y put-addr 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2

Reset-shutdown list

During an operating system, configuration file, or application update, workers temporarily leave the fabric. The fabric keeper maintains a shutdown list that identifies the workers leaving the fabric and does not allow other workers to update until one of the workers returns to the fabric.

The reset shutdown list command removes the entries in the fabric keeper's shutdown list allowing more workers to update, in the case a one or more workers fail to return to the fabric (such as in the case of a hardware failure, or a boot failure).
