NAME
sncfgedit - Edit Xsan Volume configuration file
SYNOPSIS
sncfgedit -n VolName [-f FailedTemporaryConfigFile]
sncfgedit -h
DESCRIPTION
The sncfgedit program provides convenient method to edit the Xsan file
system configuration file for the named file system and validate the
new configuration file before overwriting the old one. To do so,
sncfgedit creates a temporary copy of the configuration file, and then
opens it in an editor.
sncfgedit uses the the EDITOR environment variable to choose the pro-
gram used to edit the configuration file, or vi if EDITOR is not set.
Validation includes standalone validation of the new configuration file
as well as validation of changes between original configuration file
and edited file if a configuration file previously existed. If no pre-
vious configuration file exists, a template will be loaded into the ed-
itor using default settings for all values.
Before an existing configuration file is overwritten, it is copied to
/Library/Logs/Xsan/data/VolName/config_history/ for future reference.
A timestamp is appended to the filename to allow for the existence of
multiple backup copies.
OPTIONS
-h Display usage.
-n VolName
Required. The name of the file system whose config is to be
edited or created.
-f FailedTemporaryConfigFile
Specify the path to the temporary config file from a previous
run where the proposed changes were disallowed. This gives you
another chance without throwing away all of the previous
changes.
EXIT VALUES
sncfgedit will return 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

configuration file. (default: vi)
