JAGaf49067 HELP: documentation has inaccuracies in
description of SGMgr command line arguments
• What is the problem?
There are two incorrect descriptions for command line arguments:
— Online help mistakenly say that -c option with no argument will
display all the clusters it discovers. This is incorrect as -c
requires a parameter. It will display a usage error if the clusters
are not specified.
— The Unused nodes flag is global to the command, and does not
apply to any one session. If it is used in a command, it should not
be repeated, as it will apply only once.
• What is the workaround? Use this documentation when using the
sgmgr command. For more information, see the man page (1M).
