GFHOSTGROUP(1)

💖 GFHOSTGROUP 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is gfhostgroup, the Gfarm hostgroup maintenance command. it's giving sysadmin glamour, fr fr. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gfhostgroup [-P path] [host [[host...]]]

gfhostgroup [-P path] -s host groupname

gfhostgroup [-P path] -r host [[host...]]

like, three whole moods. pick your fighter. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so gfhostgroup manages Gfarm host groups — which, for the record, are also called a filesystem node group, or fsngroup for short, iykyk. 🦋

and what are they even for?? they're used by the Replication-Attribute-based File Replication. that's the vibe. that's the whole point. no cap. ✨

here's the tea on what it actually does by default: it displays all registered host groups. and good news — any user can display the host groups. you don't need permission, you don't need clout, you just get to look. 👑

but the Gfarm administrators? they get the real power:

• they can set the host group of specified hosts using the -s option 🔥
• and they can remove the host group of specified hosts using the -r option 💀

main character energy only. periodt.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -P path — this one specifies a pathname or a Gfarm URL to identify a metadata server that this command is gonna access. and if you don't specify it? no worries bestie, "/" is used as the default value. 🫶
• -s — sets a host group for the specified host. 🎀
• -r — removes a host group for the specified host(s). note the (s) — plural, she's flexible. 💅
