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.
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. |
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 |

This section describes the discovery flow of the EMC Autostart by Shell job.
-
Calculate paths
The path of the ftAgent process discovered by Application Signatures is analyzed. These paths are calculated:
-
root of deployment
-
path to folder with executable files (bin)
-
-
Verify presence of ftcli command
Execute command ftcl with -version argument to:
-
Verify the command is available by calculated path.
-
Get version information about installed EMC AutoStart software.
-
-
Verify domain name
Domain name calculated from command line of EMC AutoStart software processes should be verified.
-
The job tries to read the configuration file <root>/config/<domain-name>-sites.
-
If the file is missing, the domain name is considered invalid and the job ends.
-
-

The command ftcli is used to read configuration of the cluster, including:
-
nodes (listNodes, getNode)
-
managed IPs (listManagedIPS, getIP)
-
managed NICs (listManagedNics, getNic)
