2.6 Using the zosadmin Command to Gather Information

You can use the zosadmin command line to learn what users or nodes are defined in your Orchestration Server. Follow these steps to learn about the users and nodes in your system.

  1. Log in to the Orchestration Server by using the following command:

    zosadmin login

    You can also use the server’s host name as an argument when you log in.

    If you use the grid= parameter, you can specify the grid name you want to log into. If other Orchestration Servers are installed on the local host, the system cannot log in to any of them unless you use this parameter. For more information, see The zosadmin Command Line Tool in the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1.5 Orchestration Server Command Line Reference.

  2. Enter the administrator’s user name and password.

    If the login was successful, the command line tool returns a message like this:

    Logged into tszen4_grid on server 'tszen4.provo.company.com'

  3. Enter the following command to list the active users on your Orchestration Server:

    zosadmin users

    You can add the --help option at the command line to determine the run options for this command.

  4. Enter the following command to list the active nodes on your Orchestration Server:

    zosadmin nodes

    You can add the --help option at the command line to determine the run options for this command.

With the completion of this part of the walkthrough, you have a good understanding of the parts of Orchestration Server and how they work.
