A quick reference guide for users of PERCEUS to assist in transitioning to Warewulf 3+.

PERCEUS Syntax	Warewulf 3+ Equivalent
Chroot Path: /var/lib/perceus/vnfs/name/rootfs</td>	Chroot path (typical): /var/chroots/_name VNFS images are stored in the Warewulf data store (database), not on disk.</td>
perceus vnfs clone oldname__newname	Not required. Simply cp -a _oldpath__newpath
perceus vnfs mount name	None needed. Closest equivalent would be ln -s /var/chroots/name /mnt/
perceus vnfs close name	None needed. Closest equivalent would be rm -f /mnt/name (see above)
perceus vnfs umount name	wwvnfs name NOTE: Options for chroot jail paths, hybridization settings, etc. are best done in config files (/etc/warewulf/vnfs/name.conf)!</td>
perceus vnfs livesync name__list_of_nodes	wwlivesync nodespec Unlike with PERCEUS, node ranges like 'n00[00-99].lr1' can be supplied.
perceus node status	No equivalent. This will be handled by Warewulf monitoring.
perceus node list [ nodespec ] perceus node summary [ nodespec ]	No exact equivalent. Closest is: wwsh node list [ nodespec ]
perceus node show [ nodespec ]	wwsh node print [ nodespec ]
perceus vnfs export name__outfile	wwsh vnfs export name(s)__outdir OR while storing/updating: wwvnfs name -o outfile
perceus vnfs import infile [ name ]	wwsh vnfs import [ -n name ] infile
perceus node add hwaddr__name.cluster	wwsh node new -D ifname -H hwaddr -c cluster__name May also want to specify: -g group(s) -I ipaddr -M netmask -G gateway
perceus node delete nodespec	wwsh node delete nodespec
perceus node set hostname name.cluster__oldname	wwsh node set -n name -c cluster__oldname
perceus -i node set hostname name.cluster__hwaddr	wwsh -l hwaddr -n name -c cluster__hwaddr
perceus node set vnfs vnfs__nodespec	wwsh provision set -V vnfs__nodespec
perceus group set vnfs vnfs__group	wwsh provision set -l groups -V vnfs__group(s)
perceus node set group group__nodespec	wwsh node set -g group(s)__nodespec
perceus node replace realname__currentname	No equivalent, but maybe there should be? For now, use wwsh node print currentname to get the new machine’s hardware address(es). Then wwsh node delete currentname and wwsh node set realname to set them on the object with the correct name.
