powerman.conf(5)                   powerman                   powerman.conf(5)


NAME

       powerman.conf - configuration file for PowerMan


DESCRIPTION

       The powerman.conf file typically includes one or more of the remote
       power controller (RPC) device files provided in the
       /usr/local/etc/powerman directory; sets a few global options;
       instantiates RPC devices with unique names, hostnames, and ports; and
       maps node names to RPC's and plug numbers.

       Network-attached RPC's are instantiated with device lines of the form:

              device "name" "type" "host:port"

       Serial-attached RPC's are instantiated with device lines of the form:

              device "name" "type" "special file" "flags"

       where special file is the full path to a tty device, and flags is a
       serial parameter specification in a form similar to that used by lilo,
       e.g.  "9600,8n1".  RPC's that are accessed via coprocesses are
       instantiated as follows:

              device "name" "type" "process |&"

       where process is the full path to a process whose standard output and
       input will be controlled by powerman, e.g. "/usr/bin/conman -Q -j rpc0
       |&".


EXAMPLE

       The following example is a 16-node cluster that uses two 8-plug Baytech
       RPC-3 remote power controllers.

       include "/usr/local/etc/powerman/baytech.dev"  # include def for "baytech" RPC

       tcpwrappers yes                      # enable TCP wrappers

       # listen "0.0.0.0:10101"             # uncomment to listen on all interfaces

       # Alias example - alias can be used in target specifications
       alias "pengra_service" "pengra[0-1]"
       alias "pengra_compute" "pengra[2-15]"

       # Power controller: device <name> <type> <hostname:port> [<flags>]
       device "pow0" "baytech" "pow0:23"  # instantiate pow0
       device "pow1" "baytech" "pow1:23"  # instantiate pow1

       # Plugs: node <name> <device> [<plug>]
       node "pengra[0-7]" "pow0" "[1-8]"  # map pengra0...pengra7 to pow0 plug 1-8
       node "pengra[8-15]" "pow1" "[1-8]" # map pengra8...pengra15 to pow1 plug 1-8
