Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

/opsw/Application directory
This directory is deprecated in Server Automation 6.0.
This directory represents the SA Software Tree, a hierarchical structure for organizing applications:

/opsw/Facility directory
Typically, a facility identifies the geographical location of a data center, such as a city or building. This directory contains information about facilities and the servers they manage:
/opsw/Facility/
facility-1/

/opsw/Group directory
This directory represents device groups. This directory also contains groups for network devices under the following conditions:
NA is installed.
The SA group has the NA-associated attribute set.
The SA and NA group names are the same.
In the following structure, the child-group and grandchild-group reflect nested device groups:
/opsw/Group/

/opsw/OS directory
This directory contains information about the operating systems defined in SA. It does not contain the actual bits for the operating systems, which are stored in the OS Provisioning Media Server. The /opsw/OS directory has the following structure:
/opsw/OS/
os-name-1/
Not Assigned/
@/
CustAttr/
custom-attribute-1
custom-attribute-2
. . .
info
Server-1/

server-2/

os-name-2/

/opsw/Permissions directory
This directory contains information about the Global Shell permissions. The info directory contains a file for each operation (permission) that can be granted with the aaa utility. For each user group, the operations subdirectory contains a text file corresponding to an operation (such as launchGlobalShell) that have been granted to the group by aaa. The contents of these text files summarize the parameters of the permissions for that operation and user group.
For example, the readServerFilesystem text file is in the operations directory of the Advanced Users group:
/opsw/Permissions/UserGroups/Advanced Users/operations/readServerFilesystem
The readServerFilesystem text file contains the following information:
Facility: C40(40) Login: sysadmin
Group: Unix Servers (2880040) Login: root
In this example, all members of the Advanced Users group can read the file system as user sysadmin on servers that belong to Facility C40 (with ID 40), and as user root on servers that belong to the device group Unix Servers (with ID 2880040).
If a user group directory does not contain a text file for an operation, then the group does not have permission to perform that operation. If the text file is empty, the user group has permission to perform the operation, but the operation has no parameters. The launchGlobalShell operation, for example, has no parameters.
The /opsw/Permissions directory has the following structure:
/opsw/Permissions/
info/
launchGlobalShell
loginToServer
readServerComplus
readServerFilesystem
readServerMetabase
readServerRegistry
relayRdpToServer
runCommandOnServer
runTrustedOnServer
writeServerFilesystem

/opsw/Realm directory
A realm is a logical name for a group of IP addresses that can be contacted by a particular set of SA Gateways. Typically, each Satellite and Facility has one or more distinct realms. To find out which managed servers belong to a realm, note the server names below therealm/@/Server subdirectory.
The Realm directory has the following structure:
/opsw/Realm/
realm-1/
@/
info
Server/
server-1/
server-2/
. . .
realm-2/
. . .
/opsw/Script/Shared directory
