Description

The Copy-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet creates a node template by making a copy of an existing node template.

Examples

Example 1: Copy a node template

PS C:\>Copy-HpcNodeTemplate -Name "MyTemplate"

This command creates a node template as a copy of the existing node template named MyTemplate. The new node template has a name of Copy of MyTemplate by default.

Example 2: Copy a node template to a specified file

PS C:\>Copy-HpcNodeTemplate -Name "MyExistingTemplate" -NewName "MyNewTemplate"

This command creates a node template named MyNewTemplate as a copy of the existing node template named MyExistingTemplate.

Example 3: Get a node template and make a copy of it

PS C:\>Get-HpcNodeTemplate -Name "MyExistingTemplate" | Copy-HpcNodeTemplate -NewName "MyNewTemplate"

This command gets an HpcNodeTemplate object for the node template named MyExistingTemplate, and then creates a new node template named MyNewTemplate as a copy of that existing node template.

Parameters

-ClusterConnectionString

Specifies an array of cluster connection strings for the cluster to which you want to add the device drivers. The value format is host1,host2,host3. If you do not specify the ClusterConnectionString parameter, this cmdlet uses the connection string on the head node that the CCP_CONNECTIONSTRING environment variable specifies. To set this environment variable, run the following cmdlet: Set-Content Env: CCP_CONNECTIONSTRING \<head_node_name\>.

This parameter was introduced in HPC Pack 2016.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Name

Specifies the name of the existing node template that you want to copy. You cannot specify both the Name and Template parameters. Use the Get-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet to view the names of existing node templates.

Type:	String
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-NewName

Specifies a name for the new node template that the Copy-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet creates. If you do not specify a name for the new node template, the cmdlet uses "Copy of " followed by the name of the node template you want to copy as the name of new node template. If a node template with that name already exists, the Copy-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet tries the names Copy of <original_template_name> (2), Copy of <original_template_name> (3),... until the cmdlet finds a name that no other node template uses.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Scheduler

Specifies the host name or IP address of the head node for the cluster that includes the node template you want to copy. The value must be a valid computer name or IP address. If you do not specify the Scheduler parameter, this cmdlet uses the scheduler on the head node that the CCP_SCHEDULER environment variable specifies. To set this environment variable, run the following cmdlet:

Set-Content Env:CCP_SCHEDULER \<head_node_name\>

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Template

Specifies an HpcNodeTemplate object for the node template that you want to copy. Use the Get-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet to get an HpcNodeTemplate object for a node template. You cannot specify both the Template and Name parameters.

Type:	HpcNodeTemplate
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False
