blade

Run operations on the compute blades.

blade add [ <chassis>/<bay> | <uuid> [ [ <chassisN>/<bayN> | <uuidN> ] ]
blade beacon [ <chassis>/<bay> ] [ on | off ]
blade disable [ <chassis>/<bay> | <uuid> ]
blade enable [ <chassis>/<bay> | <uuid> ]
blade erase [ <chassis>/<bay> | <uuid> ]
blade erase clear [ <chassis>/<bay> | <uuid> ]
blade health [ <chassis>/<bay> | all ]
blade poweroff [ <chassis>/<bay> | all ]
blade poweron [ <chassis>/<bay> | all ]
blade reboot [ <chassis>/<bay> | all ]
blade reset  [ <chassis>/<bay> | all ]
blade status [ <chassis>/<bay> | all ]

Note: Specify a chassis number (or all) and a bay number (or all). For example: 2/1, all/1, all/all, 1/all (without spaces). For some commands, you can enter all instead of achassis/bay combination. For example:

blade health all
add

Expand the capacity of the cluster by adding one or more compute blades. Specify each blade by its bay number or its UUID. In general, the cluster must be online and in a healthy operational state when you run this command. Be sure to add blades that are already physically installed in the chassis and fully powered on. If you specify a list of blades to add and one or more of them does not exist or is not powered on, the command will fail for all of the blades. You can run the status blade all command to see the current state of the system before running the blade add command.

beacon

Turn the beacon LED on or off either for all blades or for a specific blade (identified by its bay number). Use this command to make the blue beacon LED flash on a blade that needs to be swapped out.

disable

Disable a blade so it no longer participates in the system as a worker node. Specify the bay number or the UUID of the blade.

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade disable 0/10

Are you sure you want to disable blade with UUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-38B8EBD00C35

Type yes to continue: yes

Should the blade be powered off after being disabled?

Type yes to power off blade after disable: no
Blade will not be powered off.
Blade 00000000-0000-0000-0000-38B8EBD00C35 has been disabled.
It takes about 30 seconds to change the blade state to disabled.

To see which blades are currently disabled, use the blade status all command.

enable

Enable a blade that is currently not in use (make it a worker node). Specify the bay number or the UUID of the blade.

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade enable 0/10

Blade 00000000-0000-0000-0000-38B8EBD003DE has been enabled
It can take 30s before the blade state changes to enabled

If the blade is already provisioned for use, you will see the following message:

Blade 00000000-0000-0000-0000-38B8EBD003DE has already been enabled
erase

Erase all data from a single specified blade. Specify the bay number or the UUID of the blade. When you run the blade erase command, you see a series of warnings and prompts for your protection. Type yes at each prompt to continue.

YBCLI(37002) (PRIMARY - yb98-mgr0)> blade erase 1/1

The blade erase command cannot be run on the secondary manager node.

If you need to erase data from the whole system, you can use the system factory command.

erase clear

Erase all data from a single specified blade through the block-by-block writing of zeroes in addition to the standard secure erase process of blade erase. Specify the bay number or the UUID of the blade.

Note that the blade erase clear command must be run in a screen or tmux session because the process takes longer to complete than the blade erase command. Additionally, the blade erase clear command cannot be run on the secondary manager node. When you run the blade erase clear command, you see a series of warnings and prompts for your protection. Type yes at each prompt to continue.

If you need to erase data from the entire system, you can use the system factory command.

health

Check the hardware health and boot status of one or all blades. For example:

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade health 0/10

Chassis:  0
-----------
Bay: 10 HW Status: ok    Power: on LED: [ OFF  ON   OFF  ] FRU: C4-0013-00 R01 Serial: TAA18040900C35 Temp: 49C CPU: Booted (YBOS) Worker: Running

Retrieving blade alerts...

Blade alerts reported: None

Note: The health blade command provides the same information.

If a blade is powered off, it returns:

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade health 0/15

Bay: 15 Status: off
poweroff, poweron

Power on or power off one blade or all blades. For example, power off blade 15:

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade poweroff 15

Blade in bay 15 was instructed to power off
Waiting for blade(s) to power off
Blades powered off: 0/1
Blades powered off: 1/1

When a blade is powered on, it passes through three states to come online:

  • CPU: Powering up/Self-test
  • CPU: Booting YBOS
  • CPU: Booted (YBOS)

The blade health command reports these states. This process may take a few minutes. An attempt to reboot a blade before it is in the Booted (YBOS) state will fail. For example:

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade poweron 15

Blade in bay 15 instructed to power on
Waiting for blade(s) to power on
Blades powered on: 0/1
Blades powered on: 1/1

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade health 15

Bay: 15 Status: ok Power: on FRU: C4-0005-00     Serial: NOT READ YET   CPU: Powering up/Self-test
reboot

Reboot one blade or all blades. This operation is a graceful reboot; the Yellowbrick software stack is shut down first.

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade reboot all

Gracefully rebooting blade in bay:  1 -> OK
Gracefully rebooting blade in bay:  2 -> OK
Gracefully rebooting blade in bay:  3 -> OK
Gracefully rebooting blade in bay:  4 -> OK
Gracefully rebooting blade in bay:  5 -> OK
...
reset

Perform an immediate hardware reset on one blade or all blades.

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade reset 15

Blade in bay 15 was reset
status

Return the UUID, current status, CPU and memory usage, uptime, encryption status, and drive status/wear for one or all blades. For example:

YBCLI(8911) (PRIMARY - yb100-mgr0)> blade status 1/3

Chassis:  1

		 Cluster status: OPERATIONAL - Cluster role: MEMBER - Last seen: just now

Note: If the amount of memory installed on the blades varies (based on the amount reported for the first blade), you will see red text for the memory information and a warning message at the end of the output. You will also see a warning if the BIOS is being flashed on one or more blades. These blades will automatically reset when BIOS flashing is complete.

The status blade command provides the same information.

If the database is not running, the output does not include cluster status information.

This example shows the status of one bay that does not have a blade installed:

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> blade status 1/14

Chassis:  1
-----------
Blade Bay: 14 -> BLADE NOT INSTALLED
