Member Specific Command Processing

You can operate CA VM:Director as a set of distributed servers in an SSI complex. In this case, product commands are passed to the Master server for execution. A limited number of product commands are appropriately applied only on a specific member. One of these commands is the AUDITEXT command which extracts member-specific audit data from a product server. For this situation, a new LOCAL command prefix is defined. Using the command prefix directs a given command to execute on the server running in the same member node as the command issuer.

Example

This example shows how to extract the audit file from a specific member product server named VMDIRECT.

Issue the following command from a user ID running on the same member system as the VMDIRECT server:

vmdirect local auditext
