List of M3 Command Line Tools

Alteeve Wiki :: How To :: List of M3 Command Line Tools

The Anvil! uses a fairly naming convention. That is;

• Tools that start with striker-X are tools useful mainly to Striker dasboards.
• Tools that start with anvil-X are tools that can be useful on any machine in the Anvil! cluster

Separately, Scancore has a collection of scan agents, programs designed to collect information on hardware, software or other sources of information that can prove useful to the Scancore decision engine. These agents are core to the Anvil! system's Intelligent Availability capabilities.

Striker-Specific Tools

Command	Brief Description
striker-auto-initialize-all	Tools to autonomously configure all machines in an Anvil! IA cluster
striker-boot-machine	Tool used to boot physical machines that have IPMI configuration information.
striker-check-machines	This program tests access and, when not reachable, checks the power state if out of band management is available.
striker-collect-debug	This program collects data needed to help diagnose problems with an Anvil! system.
striker-db-status	This shows the current status of striker dashboards
striker-file-manager	This manages the files available for use by servers
striker-get-peer-data	This manages peering two Striker dashboards
striker-get-screenshots	Tool used to collect screenshots from Anvil! subnodes and DR hosts
striker-initialize-host	Tool used on Striker dashboards to initialize new Nodes and DR hosts.
striker-manage-install-target	This manages the "Install Target" feature on Striker dashboards
striker-manage-peers	This manages peering two Striker dashboards
striker-parse-oui	This parses the IEEE OUI file and parses it for storage in the Anvil database
striker-purge-target	This tool purges the target from all Anvil! databases.
striker-scan-network	This scans accessible networks to create a map of MAC addresses to IP addresses
striker-show-db-counts	This shows the number of records in accessible databases.
striker-show-jobs	This shows the queued, running and (recently) completed jobs.
striker-update-cluster	This program updates all physical machines in an Anvil! cluster

Specialized Tools

These tools are designed for use primarily by other tools, and are not meant to be used by administrators directly.

fence_pacemaker generate_pm_dispatch_table scancore unfence_pacemaker

Command	Brief Description
anvil-daemon	This is the main Anvil! daemon. It maintains the state of the various machines in the cluster, runs jobs as needed, etc.
anvil-monitor-network	This is a daemon that watches for changes to network interfaces. When changes are detected, the 'scan-network' scan agent is called. This ensures that changes are quickly reflected in the Anvil! database, which is particularly useful when mapping network interfaces.
anvil-monitor-performance	This is a daemon that collects performance data and records it in the anvil.log log file. This is designed to help diagnose performance issues by keeping track of CPU load, I/O wait times, and other metrics.
alteeve-repo-setup	This tool configures the Alteeve repository. Primarily it is used to setup the repository needed to access Alteeve software, and to switch between the community and enterprise repositories.
fence_delay	This is a pseudo fence agent that the Anvil! uses automatically when a subnode has an IPMI BMC. It's purpose is the slow down Pacemaker to give time for the IPMI BMC to boot after a power fence device, like a switched PDU, cut and restored power to a failed node.
fence_pacemaker	This is a DRBD fence agent. It acts as a glue layer so that DRBD can request a resource (or node) be fenced, and passing that request on to Pacemaker.
scancore	This is the Scancore daemon, which is the component of the Anvil! cluster that provides all of the Intelligent Availability / risk mitigation.
unfence_pacemaker	This is the DRBD "unfence" agent. It acts as a glue layer so that DRBD can request a resource be unfenced, and passing that request on to Pacemaker.
