9.1.2. cctrl Modes

Four different modes are available within cctrl.

The default mode is LOGICAL.

  • ADMIN Mode

  • EXPERT Mode

  • LOGICAL Mode

  • PHYSICAL Mode

You can specify the mode to enter from the command-line, using the appropriate switch. For example, to start cctrl in EXPERT mode:

shell> cctrl -expert

You can also change the mode from within cctrl by issuing the appropriate command. For example, to switch to EXPERT mode:

[LOGICAL] /alpha > expert

WARNING: This is an expert-level command:
Incorrect use may cause data corruption
or make the cluster unavailable.

Do you want to continue? (y/n)> y
[LOGICAL:EXPERT] /alpha > 

The current mode is always displayed as part of the command prompt within cctrl.
