Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The Admin UI is available on each node at https://<NodeIP>/admin."

A block of code is set as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<AdapterKinds>
  <AdapterKind adapterKindKey="VMWARE">
    <ResourceKind resourceKindKey="ClusterComputeResource">

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<AdapterKinds>
  <AdapterKind adapterKindKey="VMWARE">
    <ResourceKind resourceKindKey="ClusterComputeResource">

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

xsi                  : http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xs                   : http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
ops                  : http://webservice.vmware.com/vRealizeOpsMgr/1.0/
identifier           : 42a2f291-d4be-48c4-b60e-2a8aa3b9d3fa

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "This can be achieved by selecting the Rebalance GemFire option that is a far less disruptive process."
