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.
