DESCRIPTION

10       The  powerman.conf  file  typically  includes one or more of the remote
11       power controller (RPC)  device  files  provided  in  the  /etc/powerman
12       directory;  sets  a  few  global options; instantiates RPC devices with
13       unique names, hostnames, and ports; and maps node names  to  RPC's  and
14       plug numbers.
15
16       Network-attached RPC's are instantiated with device lines of the form:
17
18              device "name" "type" "host:port"
19
20       Serial-attached RPC's are instantiated with device lines of the form:
21
22              device "name" "type" "special file" "flags"
23
24       where  special  file  is  the full path to a tty device, and flags is a
25       serial parameter specification in a form similar to that used by  lilo,
26       e.g.   "9600,8n1".  RPC's that are accessed via coprocesses are instan‐
27       tiated as follows:
28
29              device "name" "type" "process |&"
30
31       where process is the full path to a process whose standard  output  and
32       input  will be controlled by powerman, e.g. "/usr/bin/conman -Q -j rpc0
33       |&".

EXAMPLE

36       The following example is a 16-node cluster that uses two 8-plug Baytech
37       RPC-3 remote power controllers.
38
39       include "/etc/powerman/baytech.dev"  # include def for "baytech" RPC
40
41       tcpwrappers yes                      # enable TCP wrappers
42
43       # listen "0.0.0.0:10101"             # uncomment to listen on all interfaces
44
45       # Alias example - alias can be used in target specifications
46       alias "pengra_service" "pengra[0-1]"
47       alias "pengra_compute" "pengra[2-15]"
48
49       # Power controller: device <name> <type> <hostname:port> [<flags>]
50       device "pow0" "baytech" "pow0:23"  # instantiate pow0
51       device "pow1" "baytech" "pow1:23"  # instantiate pow1
52
53       # Plugs: node <name> <device> [<plug>]
54       node "pengra[0-7]" "pow0" "[1-8]"  # map pengra0...pengra7 to pow0 plug 1-8
55       node "pengra[8-15]" "pow1" "[1-8]" # map pengra8...pengra15 to pow1 plug 1-8
