cxtask(1)

NAME
     cxtask, cxdetail - CXFS Manager GUI

SYNOPSIS
     cxtask [-l user] [-n] [-s server]

DESCRIPTION
     The cxtask command invokes the CXFS Manager.

     The CXFS Manager provides access to the tasks and tasksets that help you
     set up and administer your cluster:

     o  Tasks let you set up and monitor individual components of a CXFS
        cluster.

     o  Guided configuration tasksets consist of a group of tasks collected
        together to accomplish a larger goal. For example, "Set Up a New
        Cluster" steps you through the process for creating a new cluster and
        allows you to launch the necessary individual tasks by simply clicking
        their titles.

     Options:

     -l user    Log in to the server as user.  By default, cxtask will attempt
                to log in as root.

     -n         No prompting.  cxtask will attempt to connect without
                prompting for server name or password.  By default, or in case
                of connection error, cxtask displays a login window with
                fields for server name, username, and password.

     -s server  Remote server on which to run the GUI.  By default, the GUI
                will be run on the local node.

EXAMPLES
     To connect to a server named cxnode1.acme.com, enter the following:

          cxtask -s cxnode1.acme.com

     You will be prompted for a password.

NOTES
     You should always use the CXFS Manager to see your progress and to avoid
     making changes too quickly.  After defining a node, you should wait for
     it to appear in the CXFS Manager before adding another node.  After
     defining a cluster, you should wait for it to appear before you add nodes
     to it.  If you make changes too quickly, errors can occur.

     You also can open a second CXFS Manager window by choosing the "New CXFS
     Manager" option on the File menu in the CXFS Manager window.  This is the
     preferred method of creating a second CXFS Manager window, because it
     reuses the existing Java process to open the second window instead of
     starting a new one, which saves memory usage on the client.

     The sysadm(1M) system administration daemon is run on the CXFS server.
     This daemon invokes the runpriv(1M) command, which allows the
     administrator to grant administrative-level privilege to individual users
     for certain commands.  When privilege is granted, a user can execute
     cxtask; otherwise, cxtask can only be executed by root.

     The cxdetail command is the same as the cxtask command.
