Cluster Property Lists

You specify property lists on the Cluster.exe command line in the following ways:

1. name=value[,value...][:format][name=value[,value...][:format]...]

For example:

cluster opsclust node mynode /priv prop1=string1,string2:multistring prop2=0xa,0xb:binary

2. :propertyname1[,propertyname2,...]/usedefault

For example:

cluster opsclust node mynode /priv:prop1,prop2 /usedefault

To revert to the default value of a common property or to delete a private property, use the /usedefault option.

The following table describes the available format options.
