NAME
gfservice - control Gfarm servers from a remote host
SYNOPSIS
gfservice [options] sub-command [host-id] [argument ...]
DESCRIPTION
gfservice is an utility for Gfarm administrators to operate servers (gfmd, gfsd and PostgreSQL) on remote
hosts. OpenLDAP is not supported currently. It can start, stop, set up (execute config-gfarm and
config-gfsd) and clean up the servers, for example.
A sample command line of gfservice looks like:
gfservice start-gfmd gfmd2
where "start-gfmd" is a sub-command and gfmd2 is a host-id respectively. Executing the command, gfservice
tries to start gfmd on the host named gfmd2. To specify a remote server host, gfservice uses host-id
instead of hostname. All host-ids (gfmd1, gfmd2, and so on) are defined in a configuration file of
gfservice. Here is an example of the configuration file:
gfmd1=metadb1.example.com
gfmd1_CONFIG_GFARM_OPTIONS="-A $LOGNAME -X"
gfmd2=metadb2.example.com
gfmd2_CONFIG_GFARM_OPTIONS="-A $LOGNAME -X"
gfsd1=spool1.example.com
gfsd2=spool2.example.com
gfservice determines a path of the configuration file to be read with the following procedures:
1. -f file option is specified, read file.
2. Otherwise, the environment variable GFSERVICE_CONF is defined and not empty, read the file.
3. Otherwise, read $HOME/.gfservice.
If gfservice fails to read a configuration file, it prints an error message and exits immediately. Note
that the configuration file itself is a Bourne-shell script and gfservice includes (exactly to say,
evaluates) the file. See gfservice.conf(5) for more details about the configuration file.
gfservice uses SSH (Secure Shell) to connect with a remote host. Since it may execute ssh several times
during a sub-command operation, it is recommended to use an SSH agent (e.g. ssh-agent of OpenSSH) or an
authentication key with an empty passphrase to avoid typing a passphrase every time.
In addition with SSH, gfservice uses Sudo to get root privilege on the remote host. Please add a line
like below to sudoers file (Sudo's configuration file) on each remote host.
user ALL=(root, _gfarmfs, _gfarmmd) NOPASSWD: gfservice-agent
where user is an user name who executes gfservice. The NOPASSWD option is not mandatory, but sudo may ask
you a password several times if omitted.
Since gfservice executes an agent command named gfservice-agent on the remote host using SSH and Sudo,
gfservice-agent command must have been installed on all hosts you want to operate using gfservice.
gfservice has a plug-in system so that user can add new sub-commands. See "PLUG-IN SYSTEM" section of
this man page for more details.
OPTIONS
-d
Print debug information. gfservice passes this option to gfservice-agent so that also
gfservice-agent outputs debug information.
-f file
Read configuration from file instead of the default.
-t time
Set operation timeout in time seconds. When gfservice tries to start or stop a server program (gfmd,
gfsd or a backend database), it waits until the operation is complete or time interval is elapsed. If
"no" is specified as time, timeout never occurs. The default value is "no".
-k
When this option is specified with sub-command config-gfarm or config-gfarm-master, gfservice creates
a shared secret key files using gfkey command.

sub-command can be worked only when the remote host is configured in the private mode.
config-gfarm host-id
Execute config-gfarm command on the remote host. If "gfmdn_CONFIG_GFARM_OPTIONS" variable is declared
in the configuration file of gfservice, its value is passed to config-gfarm command as options. Don't
use this sub-command when you want to enable replication of gfmd. Instead, use "config-gfarm-master"

config-gfarm-slave host-id master-host-id
This sub-command is the same as config-gfarm but gfmd replication is enabled automatically and the
remote gfmd host is configured as a slave of master-host-id. Then gfservice registers the slave host
to a server list using gfmdhost command. gfservice also adds the slave host to metadb_server_list
directive in gfarm2.conf file on the master gfmd host and distribute the updated gfarm2.conf file to
all hosts defined in the configuration file. It also updates gfsd.conf file and distributes it to all
gfmd and gfsd hosts, if "gfmdn_PRIVATE_MODE" variable is set to "true". If the value of the variable
"gfmdn_AUTH_TYPE" is "sharedsecret", it also copies a shared key file from the maste gfmd to the
slave gfmd host.
unconfig-gfarm host-id
Execute "stop-gfarm" sub-command and then delete all files and directories created by gfmd and a
backend database. If you want to unconfigure a slave gfmd, use "unconfig-gfarm-slave" sub-command
instead.

An alias of "unconfig-gfarm" sub-command.
unconfig-gfarm-slave host-id master-host-id
This sub-command is the same as "unconfig-gfarm", but gfservice does some additional works. It also
deletes the slave host from a server list using gfmdhost command and from metadb_server_list
directive in gfarm2.conf file on all hosts defined in the configuration file. It also updates
gfsd.conf file and distributes it to all gfmd and gfsd hosts, if "gfmdn_PRIVATE_MODE" variable is set
to "true".

in the configuration file of gfservice, its value is passed to config-gfsd command as options.
gfservice also registers the configured remote host as a filesystem node using gfhost command. If the
value of the variable "gfsdn_AUTH_TYPE" is "sharedsecret", it also copies a shared key file from
gfmd1 to the gfsd host.
unconfig-gfsd host-id
Execute "stop-gfsd" sub-command and then delete all files and directories created by gfsd.
SUB-COMMANDS FOR CLIENT
The followings are sub-commands which operate a client. The given host-id argument must be "gfmdn"
(gfmd1, gfmd2, ...), "gfsdn" (gfsd1, gfsd2, ...) or "clientn" (client1, client2, ...). Otherwise

Finally, perform "unconfig-gfarm" for all gfmd nodes.
PLUG-IN SYSTEM
gfservice has a plug-in system so that user can add new sub-commands. If given sub-command is not
provided by gfservice, gfservice refers to a file which has name of sub-command under
%%DATADIR%%/gfarm/gfservice directory.
Sub-command file must be written as Bourne shell script. Sub-command file for sub-command "name", must
have shell function named "subcmd_name" which will be executed from gfservice, and "subcmd_name_agent"
which will be executed from gfservice-agent.
For the case a sub-command depends on a other user provided sub-command, Sub-command file for sub-command
"name", must have shell function named "name_depends" which must return list of sub-commands. List of
sub-commands must be a string which is space separated list of sub-command names. If sub-command or it's
agent does not have dependencies, return empty string. Similarly, sub-command file must have shell
function named "name_agent_depends" which must return list of sub-command's agents.
