snmp-castor-tool.sh usage

Help! (-h)
Lowercase options don’t make changes to cluster: they are read-only
Uppercase options make changes to the cluster and always requires the read/write password specified
- read/write password is pulled from the CSN’s cluster.cfg file so not necessary to enter manually
avahi vs CSN (ip-assignments --ips) vs NODES.csv

by default, snmp-castor-tool.sh will collect IPs to run commands against via the ip-assignments script
ip-assignments is not populated if your addresses are configured statically in node config files
avahi-browse is available to get a list of all nodes (-d [cluster name] option)
use the -n option to specify operations ONLY against IPs specified in NODES.csv
using -n is very handy if you only want results from a subset of IPs (see createNODEScsv.sh script in the bundle)

NODES.csv- including its use with the -n option is common across many support scripts
MIBS should already be loaded in /usr/share/snmp/mibs - might need updating
- platform-update-mibs.sh (a script in the support bundle) will update the MIBs on a CSN with the latest MIBs
The -x option is available in some (not all) listing options to output to an Excel-friendly output. It is silent where not applicable.
The -x option may output to semicolon-separated output if the actual values returned via SNMP include commas.

Lowercase options don’t make changes to cluster: they are read-only

Uppercase options make changes to the cluster and always requires the read/write password specified

read/write password is pulled from the CSN’s cluster.cfg file so not necessary to enter manually

`avahi` vs `CSN (ip-assignments --ips)` vs `NODES.csv`

by default, snmp-castor-tool.sh will collect IPs to run commands against via the `ip-assignments` script

`ip-assignments` is not populated if your addresses are configured statically in node config files

`avahi-browse` is available to get a list of all nodes (`-d [cluster name] option`)

use the `-n` option to specify operations ONLY against IPs specified in NODES.csv

using `-n` is very handy if you only want results from a subset of IPs (see createNODEScsv.sh script in the bundle)

NODES.csv- including its use with the `-n` option is common across many support scripts
