Introduction to the command line interface

The command line interface (CLI) is a non-graphical user interface to the Cluster Management Console. You perform tasks in the CLI by entering commands, arguments, and options at your operating system command prompt. You must run CLI commands on a the management server host system.

Add this directory to your PATH environment variable so that you can run CLI commands from any directory. You can use the CLI commands to obtain information and perform tasks on both management server objects and cluster objects. This chapter contains a reference of CLI commands and usage.

Both UNIX and Windows platforms support the CLI. The following is a list of both management server and cluster objects and the CLI commands used to perform tasks upon them:

• Management servers -- gaserver, galogin, galogout
• Clusters -- gaclus
• Systems -- gasys
• Groups -- gagrp
• Resources -- gares
• Resource Types -- gatype
• Management server database -- gadb, gadbrestore
• Management server users -- gauser
• Cluster configurations -- gaconf

You must log in to the management server before you can use the CLI.
