V8.16: Add nodes created in inverse mode to nodes group

[Steve92]

Hi,

What is the best practice to add nodes created in inverse mode to nodes group “ndgr_XYZ” ?

These nodes are created by an admin of at specific VLAN, distinct from ECS.

This local admin can’t create nodes group on ECS, managed by a dedicated admin, can he ?

Should only these 2 commands be used by ECS admin to addd nodes to nodes group ?

List nodes & UUID :

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --nodelist --extended

Add node to nodes group :

 sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --nodeedit node_UUID --node-group NodeGroup_Name

It is mandatory to use node_UUID ?

I tested with IP_Address:port attached to a node (created in inverse mode) in nodes list, I get a strange result…

In fact, IP_Address:port is the one of the firewall/router protecting the VLAN “XYZ” of the nodes.

With

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --nodeedit IP_Address:port --node-group "ndgr_XYZ"

all the nodes on the same VLAN “XYZ” seems to be added to the nodes group “ndgr_XYZ”.

Only users having rights on this nodes group “ndgr_XYZ” see all the nodes of this VLAN although only 1 has been added to this  nodes groups.

It’s quick but I’m not sure it is very clean.

Thanks,

Regards,

Steve.

The best practice is to use node commands on machine with installed CS

This local admin can’t create nodes group on ECS, managed by a dedicated admin, can he ?

The admin who is managing nodes of ECS cannot manage ECS groups.

Should only these 2 commands be used by ECS admin to addd nodes to nodes group ?

Yes

It is mandatory to use node_UUID ?

You can choose between uuid and node-name. When you manage nodes which are accessible from ECS you can also use ip:port. In your case nodes are behind firewall so you can only use uuid/node-name.
