NAME
cluset - compute advanced cluster node set operations
SYNOPSIS
cluset [OPTIONS] [COMMAND] [nodeset1 [OPERATION] nodeset2|...]
DESCRIPTION
Note: cluset and nodeset are the same command.
cluset is an utility command provided with the ClusterShell library which implements some
features of ClusterShell's NodeSet and RangeSet Python classes. It provides easy
manipulation of 1D or nD-indexed cluster nodes and node groups.
Also, cluset is automatically bound to the library node group resolution mechanism. Thus,
it is especially useful to enhance cluster aware administration shell scripts.
OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-s GROUPSOURCE, --groupsource=GROUPSOURCE
optional groups.conf(5) group source to use
--groupsconf=FILE
use alternate config file for groups.conf(5)
Commands:
-c, --count
show number of nodes in nodeset(s)
-e, --expand
expand nodeset(s) to separate nodes (see also -S SEPARATOR)
-f, --fold
fold nodeset(s) (or separate nodes) into one nodeset
-l, --list
list node groups, list node groups and nodes (-ll) or list node groups,
nodes and node count (-lll). When no argument is specified at all, this
command will list all node group names found in selected group source
(see also -s GROUPSOURCE). If any nodesets are specified as argument,
this command will find node groups these nodes belongs to (individually).
Optionally for each group, the fraction of these nodes being member of
the group may be displayed (with -ll), and also member count/total group
node count (with -lll). If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given as a
nodeset, it will be read from standard input.
-r, --regroup
fold nodes using node groups (see -s GROUPSOURCE)
--groupsources
list all active group sources (see groups.conf(5))
Operations:
-x SUB_NODES, --exclude=SUB_NODES
exclude specified set
-i AND_NODES, --intersection=AND_NODES
calculate sets intersection
-X XOR_NODES, --xor=XOR_NODES
calculate symmetric difference between sets
Options:
-a, --all
call external node groups support to display all nodes
--autostep=AUTOSTEP
enable a-b/step style syntax when folding nodesets, value is min node
count threshold (integer '4', percentage '50%' or 'auto'). If not
specified, auto step is disabled (best for compatibility with other
cluster tools. Example: autostep=4, "node2 node4 node6" folds in
node[2,4,6] but autostep=3, "node2 node4 node6" folds in node[2-6/2].
-d, --debug
output more messages for debugging purpose
-q, --quiet
be quiet, print essential output only
-R, --rangeset
switch to RangeSet instead of NodeSet. Useful when working on numerical
cluster ranges, eg. 1,5,18-31
-G, --groupbase
hide group source prefix (always @groupname)
-S SEPARATOR, --separator=SEPARATOR
separator string to use when expanding nodesets (default: ' ')
-O FORMAT, --output-format=FORMAT
output format (default: '%s')
-I SLICE_RANGESET, --slice=SLICE_RANGESET
return sliced off result; examples of SLICE_RANGESET are "0" for simple
index selection, or "1-9/2,16" for complex rangeset selection
--split=MAXSPLIT
split result into a number of subsets
--contiguous
split result into contiguous subsets (ie. for nodeset, subsets will
contain nodes with same pattern name and a contiguous range of indexes,
like foobar[1-100]; for rangeset, subsets with consists in contiguous
index ranges)"""
--axis=RANGESET
for nD nodesets, fold along provided axis only. Axis are indexed from 1
to n and can be specified here either using the rangeset syntax, eg. '1',
'1-2', '1,3', or by a single negative number meaning that the indices is
counted from the end. Because some nodesets may have several different
dimensions, axis indices are silently truncated to fall in the allowed
range.
--pick=N
pick N node(s) at random in nodeset
For a short explanation of these options, see -h, --help.
If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given as a nodeset, it will be read from standard input.
EXTENDED PATTERNS
The cluset command benefits from ClusterShell NodeSet basic arithmetic addition. This
feature extends recognized string patterns by supporting operators matching all Operations
seen previously. String patterns are read from left to right, by proceeding any character
operators accordingly.
Supported character operators
, indicates that the union of both left and right nodeset should be computed
before continuing
! indicates the difference operation
& indicates the intersection operation
^ indicates the symmetric difference (XOR) operation
Care should be taken to escape these characters as needed when the shell does not
interpret them literally.
Examples of use of extended patterns
$ cluset -f node[0-7],node[8-10]
node[0-10]
$ cluset -f node[0-10]!node[8-10]
node[0-7]
$ cluset -f node[0-10]&node[5-13]
node[5-10]
$ cluset -f node[0-10]^node[5-13]
node[0-4,11-13]
Example of advanced usage
$ cluset -f @gpu^@slurm:bigmem!@chassis[1-9/2]
This computes a folded nodeset containing nodes found in group @gpu and
@slurm:bigmem, but not in both, minus the nodes found in odd chassis groups from 1
to 9.
All nodes extension (v1.7+)
The @* and @SOURCE:* special notations may be used in extended patterns to
represent all nodes (in SOURCE) according to the all external shell command (see
groups.conf(5)) and are equivalent to:
$ cluset [-s SOURCE] -a -f
NODE WILDCARDS
Any wildcard mask found is matched against all nodes from the group source (see
groups.conf(5) and the -a/--all option above). * means match zero or more characters of
any type; ? means match exactly one character of any type. This can be especially useful
for server farms, or when cluster node names differ.
Say that your group configuration is set to return the following “all nodes”:
$ cluset -f -a
bckserv[1-2],dbserv[1-4],wwwserv[1-9]
Then, you can use wildcards to select particular nodes, as shown below:
$ cluset -f 'www*'
wwwserv[1-9]
$ cluset -f 'www*[1-4]'
wwwserv[1-4]
$ cluset -f '*serv1'
bckserv1,dbserv1,wwwserv1
Wildcard masks are resolved prior to extended patterns, but each mask is evaluated as a
whole node set operand. In the example below, we select all nodes matching *serv* before
removing all nodes matching www*:
$ cluset -f '*serv*!www*'
bckserv[1-2],dbserv[1-4]
EXIT STATUS
An exit status of zero indicates success of the cluset command. A non-zero exit status
indicates failure.

HISTORY
cluset was added in 1.7.3 to avoid a conflict with xCAT's nodeset command and also to
conform with ClusterShell's "clu*" command nomenclature.
