Multinode operations

The NISH client provides the ability to manage multiple nodes from a single MD-CLI shell.

When operating in 1:n manager or 1:n static mode, the NISH client generates a pseudo-node named ‟all” within the connection device-label (/connections connection ‟all” in the MD-CLI path). The operator can navigate to this pseudo-node in the same way as to a single node within the NISH client. The pseudo-node addresses supported commands to all nodes that the NISH client knows about.

In 1:n manager or 1:n static mode, the NISH client also generates a pseudo-node named ‟all” in each device-label context it is aware of. By navigating into the pseudo-node within a specific device-label, the supported commands are addressed to all the nodes with that specific device-label that the NISH client knows about.
