Compare a file that exists on multiple hosts Use n commands to retrieve pertinent os-level information about servers: a. ndf runs df across many machines b. nps runs ps across many machines c. ntop runs top across many machines d. nover provides system-level overview across many machines e. nmem summary of memory across many machines f. nnet summary of network info across many machines g. nstats system statistics across many machines Convert CSV output to XML using pipe. Remotely execute a command that lives locally on the target server.

Execute a command against many servers. Verify a process exists across many servers. Execute an NSH script across many servers Verify the RSCD agent version, mapping, and license status. View RSCD agent logfile contents.
