Creates an XML-based representation of a node template and stores it in a file.

Syntax

PowerShell 
Export-HpcNodeTemplate
      [-Name] <String>
      -Path <String>
      [-Force]
      [-ClusterConnectionString <String[]>]
      [-Scheduler <String[]>]
      [<CommonParameters>]
PowerShell 
Export-HpcNodeTemplate
      -Template <HpcNodeTemplate>
      -Path <String>
      [-Force]
      [-ClusterConnectionString <String[]>]
      [-Scheduler <String[]>]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Export-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet creates an XML-based representation of a node template and stores it in a file.

Examples

Example 1: Export a node template to a specified file

PowerShell 
PS C:\>Export-HpcNodeTemplate -Name "Default ComputeNode Template" -Path "C:\MyNodeTemplates\DefaultNodeTemplate.xml"

This command exports the default node template for compute nodes to the XML file located at C:\MyNodeTemplates\DefaultNodeTemplate.xml.

Example 2: Get a node template and export it

PowerShell 
PS C:\>Get-HpcNodeTemplate -Name MyNodeTemplate | Export-HpcNodeTemplate -Path "C:\MyNodeTemplates\MyNodeTemplate.xml" -Force

This command gets the HpcNodeTemplate object for the node template named MyNodeTemplate, and then exports that node template to the XML file located at C:\MyNodeTemplates\MyNodeTemplate.xml. If the file already exists, this example overwrites the file.

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

-Force

Indicates that this operation replaces the node template file if it already exists, without prompting the user.

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

-Name

Specifies the name of the node template that you want to export. You cannot specify both the Name and Template parameters.

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

-Path

Specifies a name for the XML file to which you want to export the node template, including the full or relative path to the file if the Export-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet should not save the file in the current directory.

The maximum length for the path is 260 characters. The maximum length for the directory portion of the path is 248 characters.

This cmdlet creates any directories that do not already exist in that path. If the file already exists and you do not specify the Force parameter, the cmdlet prompts you to confirm whether or not you want to replace the file.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
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 templates. 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 export. Use the Get-HpcNodeTemplate cmdlet to get the 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

Inputs

HpcNodeTemplate

Outputs

None

Notes

  • You must be a cluster administrator to run this cmdlet successfully.
