1.2 Starting the CLI

The CLI must share information with the Enterprise Controller, therefore you must connect the CLI to the Enterprise Controller.

When the CLI runs on a system other than the Enterprise Controller, the system's credentials are necessary to connect to the Enterprise Controller. When the CLI runs on the same system as the Enterprise Controller, the CLI does not need credentials.

1.2.1 Invoking the Command Line Interface

You get access to the command line interface from the following locations:

  • Oracle Solaris: /opt/SUNWoccli/bin

  • Linux: /opt/sun/occli/bin

You must have Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 or 7 installed in the system running the CLI.

1.2.2 Connecting From the Enterprise Controller

  1. Enter the oc command.

    # ./oc
    xvmSh>
    

    You can also add some options. For more information about the options for the oc command, see Using the CLI.

  2. Enter the connect command.

    xvmSh > connect
    
    localhost >
    

    The CLI is connected to the Enterprise Controller.

1.2.3 Connecting From a Remote System

When connecting from a remote system, the CLI verifies that the certificate of the EC server is in the list of trusted certificates. For new connections or after reinstalling your EC, you must accept the server's certificates to establish the connection. Once accepted, the certificates are stored in a local trust store for the user and do not require acceptance again. For more information about certificates, see Certificates.

  1. Enter the oc command.

    # ./oc
    xvmSh>
    

    You can also add some options. For more information about the options for the oc command, see Using the CLI.

  2. Enter the connect command with the -h <enterprise controller>, -u <user name>, and -p <password>| -p@<filename for password> options.

    Note:

    If you do not use the -h, -u, and -p options, you are prompted for the Enterprise Controller name, user name, and password.

    Note:

    You might receive a message to accept or deny the addition of the EC server certificate to the trusted list.

    Use the -a| --accept-all-certificcates option to accept all certificates without receiving any confirmation message.

    Examples:

    xvmSh > connect -h EnterpriseController -u root -p rootpass
    
    EnterpriseController >
    
    xvmSh > connect -h EnterpriseController -u root -p@/tmp/pwd
    EnterpriseController >
    

    The CLI is connected to the Enterprise Controller.

Note:

If you do not use the -h, -u, and -p options, you are prompted for the Enterprise Controller name, user name, and password.

1.2.4 Using the CLI

The CLI is accessed with the oc command. The oc command can be run with the following options:

  • Use -V| --version to show the CLI version and exit.

  • Use -h| --help to show the CLI help and exit.

  • Use -q| --quiet to be as quiet as possible.

  • Use -d| --debug <debug level> to specify a debug logging level. Debug logging levels are DEBUG, FINEDEBUG, CMDSTAT, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, OFF, and ALL.

  • Use -c| --cmdfile <file> to execute the <file> command file.

  • Use -e| --eval <command> for one-line execution. The <command> command is the only command to be executed. This option can be run with one-liners. For more information about one-liners see Using the CLI One-Liner.

  • Use -o| --outfile <file> to write the output to the <file> file.

  • Use -O|--output_format <format> to specify an output format. Format can be text of parsable.

Examples:

#./oc -V
OpsCenter Command Line Interface 12.1.0

#./oc -e history
495 connect
496 version

1.2.5 Defining User Variables

Variables can be defined and then used within any command.

To define a user variable, enter set <variable name>=<value> in the command prompt.

Example:

#./oc
xvmSh> set JOBID=foo.3
xvmSh> connect
localhost> jobs.list -x $JOBID

1.2.6 Using the CLI One-Liner

The CLI accepts a list of commands as an argument.

To use the CLI one-liner, enter ./oc -e 'list commands separated by a semicolon'in the command prompt.

Example:

#./oc -e 'connect ; jobs.list | grep FAILED'

1.3 General Commands

The following are general commands used either for CLI execution or as universal commands.

Note:

You can use the Tab key to see a list of the available commands or as a completion key when typing a command.

1.3.1 Checking Connectivity

The ping command checks connectivity to the Enterprise Controller.

To check the connectivity to the Enterprise Controller, enter ping in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > ping
OEMEC None is alive, version : 12.1.0.1848

1.3.2 Displaying User Configuration

The printenv command displays the current user configuration. The variables included in the user configuration are:

  • Output_format: Format for the command output.

  • Parsable_text_separator: Text separator for parsable command output.

  • Log_level: Logging level.

  • History_length: Number of commands saved in the history.

  • Debug: Debug logging.

  • Pager: Pager for long output.

  • Continue_on_error: Continue when a command fails.

  • Text_wrap_width: Maximum width, in characters, to be displayed in a line.

  • Accept_all_certificates: Flag to enable or disable accepting all certificates by default.

To display the current user configuration, enter printenv in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > printenv
output_format=textparsable_text_separator=log_level=OFFhistory_length=500debug=falsepager=falsecontinue_on_error=falsetext_wrap_width=-1
accept_all_certificates = false

The user configuration can be changed using the setenv command.

1.3.3 Setting the User Environment

The setenv command sets the user environment in the following ways:

output_format=text|parsable
parsable_text_separator=text
log_level=OFF|ON
history_length=integer
debug=true|false
pager=true|false
continue_on_error=true|false
text_wrap_width=integer
accept_all_certificates = true|false

To set the user environment, enter sentenv <variable>=<value> in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > setenv pager=true

Note:

You must set the pager variable to true before running some commands, such as the man command.

1.3.4 Recording Console Input and Output

The record command copies all console inputs and outputs to a text file. You can save the resulting file in the directory you prefer. Issue the command without a file name to stop the recording.

To record the console inputs and outputs into a text file, enter record <filename> in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > record foo.file

Note:

Use the Tab key for filename completion.

1.3.5 Using a Source File

The source command uses command script files to source commands as if they were entered at the prompt. For more information about command scripts, see Command Scripts. This command is also used to specify a file as the source of an operation when executing other commands. This file can be used for information that is shared by more than one script, or to keep secure information separate.

To use a source file, enter source <filename> in the command prompt.

Example:

EnterpriseControler > source /tmp/cmds

1.3.6 Viewing the Version

The version command displays the version of the CLI, the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center software, the Java SE Runtime Environment, and the Java HotSpot Server VM software.

To view the version of the CLI, enter version in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > version
CLI version: 12.1.0OpsCenter version: 12.1.0.1848Platform: Java-1.6.0_21-Java_HotSpot-TM-_Server_VM,_17.0-b16,_Sun_Microsystems_Inc.-on-SunOS-5.10-x86Jython Version: 2.5.1

1.3.7 Waiting for a Job to Complete

You can set the CLI to wait until either the most recent job or a specific job finishes before launching a new job, using the wait command. This can be useful if one job, such as a discovery, is a requirement for another job, such as grouping or managing discovered assets. You can identify a job by its jobID or by its runID.

The wait command is used in command scripts where many commands are run almost at the same time, and a command must wait to be executed until the job launched by the previous command is completed. For more information about command scripts, see Command Scripts. This command can be used from within any mode at any time or from the main command line.

To wait for a job to complete, enter wait in the command prompt.

Use the -i| --jobid <job ID> option to specify a job ID. The CLI waits for that job to complete.

Use the -r| --runid <run ID> option to specify a job runID. The CLI waits for that job to complete. Default is to wait for the last job.

Use the -a| --all option to wait for all jobs.

Use the -n| --maxwait <maximum wait time> to specify a timeout, a maximum number of seconds to wait for a job to complete.

Note:

To interrupt a wait operation during interactive session, press Ctrl+C.

1.3.8 Viewing Help

You can use the help command to show the available commands. This command can be used from within any mode at any time or from the main command line.

To show the available commands, enter help in the command prompt.

Use the -l option to include detailed usage information.

1.3.9 Reviewing Commands

The history command shows recent commands. This command can be used from within any mode at any time or from the main command line.

To show the recent commands, enter history in the command prompt.

Use the -n <number of commands> option to limit the history list.

Example:

localhost > history -n 3

The history includes a command number for the sequence. To repeat a command in the history enter the ! character with the command number and press the Tab key, as shown in the following example:

localhost > history -n 3
495 connect
496 version
        498 history -n 3
#!496 <TAB>
#version

1.3.10 Displaying a Man Page

You can display the man page for a specific mode, using the man command. The syntax usage and description for all mode subcommands are included in the man page. This command can be used from within any mode at any time or from the main command line.

To display the man page for a specific mode, enter man <mode name> in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > man gear

If no mode name is given, the CLI man page is displayed.

To see a list of man pages, enter the command and press the Tab key.

Note:

The man command requires the pager environment variable to be set to true for multipage output before being run. For more information about how to set the pager variable to true, see Setting the User Environment.

1.3.11 Ending a Mode

You can exit a mode and return to the initial CLI prompt, using the end command. This command can be used from within any mode at any time or from the main command line.

To exit a mode, enter end in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost/gear > end
localhost >

1.3.12 Disconnecting from Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center

The disconnect command closes the connection between the Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Command Line Interface and the Enterprise Controller.

To disconnect from the Enterprise Controller, enter disconnect in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > disconnect
xvmSh >

1.3.13 Exiting the CLI

You can exit the CLI from any mode, using the exit command. This command can be used from within any mode at any time or from the main command line.

To exit the CLI, enter exit in the command prompt.

Example:

localhost > exit
#

1.4 Universal Output Filters

For any main or mode command, you can constrain the output by appending one of the following filters to the command:

  • |grep regexp to filter by the regular expression

  • |count integer to display only the number of output lines

  • |tee filename to write the output to a file

Example:

localhost/jobs > list | tee /var/tmp/todays_jobs.txt

Note:

For better results with grep and count filters, activate parsable output, using the setenv command.

1.5 Command Scripts

The CLI can also be used in a non-interactive way, using command scripts. The following example shows a script named update.xvm that writes the inventory of a server to a file:

connect finance_svr -u zz3282134 -p b@seba11
update
csv_inventory -h finance_svr -f ~/inventory_latest.csv
wait
end

To create the file at any time, issue the following command:

oc --cmdfile update.xvm

To run a command script use the source command.

Example:

xvmSh > source update.xvm

1.6 Mode Commands

The commands in this section start a mode that includes a set of subcommands. Use the man command to display the man page for each mode.

  • Certificates – Use certificates mode to view and manage trusted certificates.

  • Collisions – Use collisions mode to detect collisions of host IDs or MAC addresses used by logical domains.

  • Controllers – Use controllers mode to migrate assets from one Proxy Controller to another Proxy Controller.

  • Credentials – Use credentials mode to view and manage driver credentials.

  • Deploy-Setup – Use deploy-setup mode to set up the plan and target to deploy an asset.

  • Deploy – Use deploy mode to deploy an asset.

  • Discover – Use discovery mode to discover gear (assets).

  • FWImage – Use fwimage mode to create, view, and manage firmware images.

  • FWProfile – Use fwprofile mode to create, view, and manage firmware profiles.

  • Gear – Use gear mode to view and manage gear (assets) and provision operating systems and firmware.

  • Groups – Use groups mode to view, create, and manage groups.

  • Incidents – Use incidents mode to view and manage incidents.

  • Jobs – Use jobs mode to view and manage jobs.

  • Monitoring – Use monitoring mode to manage monitoring services.

  • Networks – Use networks mode to display the list of managed networks.

  • Notifications – Use notifications mode to view notifications and change notification settings.

  • OSImage – Use osimage mode to view, manage, and install OS images.

  • OSProfile – Use opsrofile mode to view, manage, and import OS profiles.

  • Reports – Use reports mode to manage the reporting service.

  • ServerPools – Use serverpools mode to view, and manage server pools.

Unlike the ecadm and proxyadm commands, which are used for administering the Enterprise Controller and its Proxy Controllers, the CLI operates on the assets of the data center.

To execute a subcommand within a mode:

  • Enter the mode, then enter the subcommand.

  • Enter <mode name>.<subcommand name>.

    Example:

    localhost > jobs.list
    

For information about the mode commands that have a corresponding action in the browser user interface, see Finding the Equivalent Browser User Interface Actions For the Mode Commands.

1.6.1 Certificates

Certificates mode allows you to view and manage the list of trusted certificates for known remote EC servers. The CLI doesn't check for certificates in local connections.

Certificates are stored in a truststore file in the user directory. When connecting to an EC remotely, the CLI verifies if the certificate chain of the EC server is part of the trusted list. If the certificate chain is not in the trusted list, then the CLI request to accept the new certificate to add it to the list. If the certificate chain is not accepted, then the connection fails.

Additionally, you can set your user environment to silently accept all certificates by setting the accept_all_certificates variable to true, see Setting the User Environment for more information in changing the value of the variable. You can also set your connection to silently accept all certificates by using the -a or --accept_all_certificates option with the connect command. This is especially useful for non-interactive sessions where it is not possible to interactively accept the certificate.

To enable your scripts to connect to a remote server, you can choose from the following options:

  • If you reinstall your EC and CLI often, modify your scripts to add the -a or --accept_all_certificates option to the connect command to make them pass-through.

  • If you reinstall your EC often but not the CLI, you might prefer to change the new CLI preference accept_all_certificates to automatically accept certificates at all times for all servers to which it connects. You can also add the following line at the beginning of each script to add the certificate, although this command connects to the EC and then disconnects: certificates.add -h hostname -u username [-n port] -p password -f.

  • If you do not reinstall your EC often, then you can connect to the EC interactively to accept the certificate at the user level which adds it to the user's truststore. In this case you will need to connect interactively to it after each reinstall of your EC to accept its new certificates.

1.6.1.1 Viewing Certificates

You can view the list of existing trusted certificates.

  • Enter list.

    xvmSh/certificates > list
    
           Alias        |            Issuer            |           Subject            | Serial Number |
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    root@sm-36:11172|    CN=sm-36_oem-ec_ca    |    CN=sm-36_oem-ec_ca    |   385822055
    root@sm-36:11172|    CN=sm-36_oem-ec_ca    |  CN=sm-36_oem-ec_agent   |   1497938285
    

    Use the -a| --alias <alias> option to list a specific alias or a list of aliases separated by a comma.

    Use the -d| --detail option to include detailed certificate information.

1.6.1.2 Adding Certificates

You can add a certificate to the trusted list.

  • Enter add -h| --hostname <EChostname> -u| --username <username>

    xvmSh/certificates > add -h sm-37 -u root
    Enter password for authentication > ********
    Untrusted certificate encountered. Create an exception to accept it at each connection? [Display/Yes/No] y
    Certificate chain added for root@sm-37:11172
    

    Use the -p| --pass <password> option to add without entering the user password interactively.

    Use the -f| -- force option to add without receiving any confirmation message, useful for scripts where no interaction is possible.

    Use the -n| --port <port_number> option to add the port number to use.

1.6.1.3 Deleting Certificates

You can delete a certificate from the trusted list.

  • Enter remove -a|--alias <alias>

    xvmSh/certificates > remove -a root@sm-37:11172
    xvmSh/certificates > 
    

1.6.2 Collisions

This module is about detecting collisions of host IDs and MAC addresses used by logical domains managed by Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center. A collision is an occurrence of a duplicated host ID or MAC address used by two or more logical domains.

You can run this command to detect host ID or MAC address collisions of logical domains existing in the Enterprise Controller.

This command also allows you to detect if specific host IDs or MAC addresses collide with host IDs or MAC addresses used by logical domains inside the Enterprise Controller. This functionality is specially useful to prevent collisions before adding logical domains created outside of Enterprise Manager Ops Center. You can either provide a file containing data of the logical domains or provide the host IDs or MAC addresses as part of the command.

Additionally, you can reserve a number of MAC addresses from a specified range. You can use the reserved MAC addresses to assign them to a future logical domain to guarantee it will not collide with other MAC address used inside the Enterprise Controller.

1.6.2.1 Viewing host IDs or MAC address collisions for managed logical domains

You can list all collisions detected for all existing logical domains inside the Enterprise Controller. You can filter the list by type of collisions detected for host IDs or MAC addresses.

Enter list -t|--type <all|hostid|macaddres>

xvmSh/collisions > list -t hostid
Collision on hostid 84ffb4b4  :
            server            |             name             |                  UUID                  |        MAC         |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  foo.example.com  |        ldom_guest        |  a2478fdd-62f8-c4af-afdd-e2d93cc93abb  | 00:14:4F:FB:5D:0E
  foo.example.com  |         ldom_guest1          |  7db50419-d46d-4351-b7f7-ba7d5f1c76fd  | 00:14:4F:FF:B4:B4

1.6.2.2 Verifying collisions using a file containing logical domains data

You can verify if host IDs or MAC addresses collide with a host ID or MAC address used by logical domains inside the Enterprise Controller. You can specify the name of the file containing data of logical domains to check them for possible collisions.

Enter list -t|--type <all|hostid|macaddres> -f|--file <filename>

xvmSh/collisions > list -t hostid -f dumpldoms.txt
Collision on hostid 84ffb4b4  :
            server            |             name             |                  UUID                  |        MAC         |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  foo.example.com  |        ldom_guest        |  a2478fdd-62f8-c4af-afdd-e2d93cc93abb  | 00:14:4F:FB:5D:0E
  foo.example.com         |    guest-inter-collision     |  544fe468-90a8-66ce-990f-bb4b79842fa9  | 00:14:4F:FA:2D:E1

You can run the script /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/read_mac on Oracle VM for SPARC control domains to collect their logical domains data. You can send the output of the script to a file and then use that file as part of the -f|--file option.

1.6.2.3 Verifying collisions using specific host IDs or MAC addresses

You can verify if the specified host IDs or MAC addresses collide with a host ID or MAC address used by logical domains inside the Enterprise Controller. You can choose to filter the list by type of collisions for either host IDs or MAC addresses.

Verifies if the specified host IDs or MAC addresses collide with a host IDs or MAC addresses used by logical domains inside the Enterprise Controller. This command identifies different level of collisions:

  • Severe – For host ID collisions between two or more logical domains.

  • Warning – For MAC address collisions between two or more vnets of logical domains, including alternate MAC addresses of the vnets.

  • Info – For MAC address collisions between vnets of logical domains and logical domain MAC addresses.

Enter check -t|--type <hostid|macaddres> -v|--value <values>

xvmSh/collisions > check -t macaddress -v 0:14:4F:FB:5D:0E,00:14:4F:FA:2D:E1
Collision Level - INFO :
            server            |             name             |                  UUID                  |        MAC         |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  foo.example.com  |        ldom_guest        |  a2478fdd-62f8-c4af-afdd-e2d93cc93abb  | 00:14:4F:FB:5D:0E

1.6.3.2 Evacuating Assets From a Failed Proxy Controller

You can evacuate the assets managed by a failed Proxy Controller to other available Proxy Controllers. The Proxy Controller to which the assets can be migrated is automatically determined based on the networks managed by the remaining available Proxy Controllers and their load.

  • Enter migrate_assets -U| --UUID <proxy_uuid>.

    localhost/controllers > migrate_assets -U h4fm76fd-28be-4892-8uae-4i8b20b780e1
    

    WARNING:

    The failed Proxy Controller will be removed, and its MBeans will be unregistered after the job launched by this command is finished.

1.6.4 Credentials

Credentials mode allows you to view and manage the driver credentials necessary to discover and manage assets. The credentials also help to establish trust between internal components.

1.6.4.1 Viewing Credentials

You can view a list of existing driver credentials

  • Enter list.

    localhost/credentials > list
    Driver Credentials:
     ID  |      Name        |   Type   |       Description       |
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    6850 |     admin        |    SSH   |   root/admin SSH creds  |
    6840 |   occosIPMI      |   IPMI   |          IPMI           |
    

    Use the -i| --ids <credential IDs> option to give a specific credential ID or a list of credential IDs. IDs must be separated by a comma.

    Use the -l| --detail option to include detailed credential information.

1.6.4.2 Modifying Credential Details

You can modify the values of a driver credential. The modify command starts a submode with its own set of subcommands.

  1. Enter modify -i| --id <credential ID>.

    localhost/credentials > modify -i 6840
    localhost/credentials/modify >
    
  2. (Optional) Use the show command to display the current properties of the credential.

    localhost/credentials/modify > show
    description=IPMI
    *sharedSecret=*****
    *login=IPMI_user
    *name=occosIPMI
    

    Note:

    Properties marked with an asterisk (*) at the beginning must be set.
  3. Enter set <property>=<value> to modify a property value of the credential.

    localhost/credentials/modify > set name=IPMI_cred
    
  4. If necessary, use the unset <property> command to unset a property or the reset command to reset all properties.

  5. Use the commit command to apply the change.

1.6.5 Deploy-Setup

Deploy-setup mode allows you to specify a deployment plan and its target. The deployment plan must exist already and the asset must be already a managed asset.

1.6.5.1 Starting Deploy-Setup Mode

You must switch to deploy-setup mode to run commands for deploying assets. To start the deploy-setup mode, enter the deploy mode, which redirects you to the deploy-setup mode.

  • Enter deploy in the CLI prompt.

    localhost > deploy
    localhost/deploy-setup >
    

1.6.5.2 Selecting a Deployment Plan

You must select an existing deployment plan.

  • Enter plan <plan name>

    Use the -v| --version option to specify a version of a plan.

    localhost/deploy-setup > plan plan-fwp
    Plan "plan-fwp" selected: version 1, description "None"
    

1.6.5.3 Selecting a Target Asset

You must select an asset as the target of the deployment plan. You must always indicate an asset name or public UUID. In case of ambiguity, where multiple assets have the same user friendly name, the user is informed to use UUID instead.

  • Enter target <asset name or public UUID>

    You can also add some other options:

    Use the -a| --add option to add assets to current set of targets.

    Use the -d| --delete option to delete assets from the current set of targets.

    Use the -g| --gear <asset name> option to give an asset name or a list of asset names, separated by comma.

    Use the -U| --UUID <public UUID> option to give an asset UUID or a list of asset UUIDs, separated by comma.

    Example using an asset's friendly user name:

    localhost/deploy-setup > target foo.example.com
    

    Example using an asset public UUID:

    localhost/deploy-setup > target 53f6e87f-3582-4cda-9c63-9121a3a8beb3
    

After you specify the plan and target, the mode changes from the deploy-setup mode to the deploy mode. This is reflected at the command prompt as follows:

localhost/deploy>

Use the following syntax to set an attribute or list of attributes of a deployment plan:

  • For simple types:

    Enter set "<attribute-name> = <'string-value'>"|<int>|<true|false>

    Examples:

    localhost/deploy > set "forceReinstall = false"
    localhost/deploy > set "ip = '192.0.2.23'"
    
  • For attributes that are backed by other struct-like value objects, use the following syntax:

    Enter set "<attribute-name> = list or nested object"

    set "network={gateway='192.0.2.111', userFriendlyName='ip address', ip='192.0.2.4'}"
    
  • If you use JavaScript Objet Notation (JSON) format, use the following syntax:

    set "{'resourcePlans':[{'hostName':'myhostname','networks':[{'networkBindings':[{'ipAddress':'192.0.2.1'}]}]}]}"
    

    Or

    set "resourcePlans=[{hostName='myhostname',networks=[{networkBindings=[{ipAddress='192.0.2.1'}]}]}]"
    

    Or

    set "<json-string> "
    
  • For deployment plans on multiple targets that require unique values for each target, use the set command as follows:

    localhost/deploy > set "@<target-uuid or dynamic-target>:<key>=<'string-value'>"|<int>|<true|false>|list of nested objects"
    set "<@target-uuid or dynamic-target>:<json-string>"
    

    Example:

    localhost/deploy > set @<target-UUID>:"network={gateway='192.0.2.1', userFriendlyName='ip address', ip='192.0.2.4'}"
    

1.6.6.3 Adding Attributes to a Deployment Plan

You can add attributes to a deployment plan using the add command. The syntax for adding attributes is similar to the syntax for setting attributes. However, for arrays, the add command appends an element to the array while the set command modifies the attribute of an existing element within the array.

Use the following syntax to add attributes to a deployment plan:

  • For simple types:

    Enter add "<attribute-name> = {<'string-value'>"|<int>|<true|false>}

    Examples:

    localhost/deploy > add "forceReinstall = false"
    localhost/deploy > add "ip = '192.0.2.23'"
    
  • For attributes that are backed by other struct-like value objects, use the following syntax:

    Enter add"<attribute-name> = list or nested object"

    localhost/deploy > add "network={gateway='192.0.2.1', userFriendlyName='ip address', ip='192.0.2.4'}"
    
  • If you use JavaScript Objet Notation (JSON) format, use the following syntax:

    "{'resourcePlans':[{'hostName':'myhostname','networks':[{'networkBindings':[{'ipAddress':'192.0.2.1'}]}]}]}"
    

    Or

    add "resourcePlans=[{hostName='myhostname',networks=[{networkBindings=[{ipAddress='192.0.2.1'}]}]}]"
    

    Or

    add "<json-string> "
    
  • For deployment plans on multiple targets that require unique values for each target, use the set command as follows:

    add "@<target-uuid or dynamic-target>:<key>=<'string-value'>"|<int>|<true|false>|list of nested objects"
    add "<@target-uuid or dynamic-target>:<json-string>"
    

    Example:

    localhost/deploy > add @<target-UUID>:"network={gateway='192.0.2.1', userFriendlyName='ip address', ip='192.0.2.2'}"
    

1.6.6.4 Testing a Deployment Plan

To dry run a deployment plan:

  • Enter dryrun.

    localhost/deploy > dryrun
    

1.6.6.5 Applying a Deployment Plan

You can set a component file.

  • Enter set_component_file -n| --componentname <component name> -C| --channelname <channel name> -f| --filename <file name>.

1.6.22.29 Finding Nodes

You can find nodes whose names match a search string. The search string used for this command must be a regular expression. For a summary of regular expression constructs, visit http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html.

  • Enter find_nodes -s| --search_string <search string>.

    Use the -a| --all option to list all nodes.

    Use the -l| --detail option to print details.

    Use the -c| --case option to specify a case-sensitive search.

    As the following examples shows, when regular expressions are not used correctly, any node is listed as a result:

    localhost/update > find_nodes -s SMCcurl-7.21* -a
    Name                           Node id    Distro          Available  Certified
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    localhost/update > find_nodes -s SMCcurl-7.21.2-0 [1/1/2012] -a
    Name                           Node id    Distro          Available  Certified
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

    Correct examples:

    localhost/update > find_nodes -s SMCcurl-7.21.* -a
    Name                           Node id    Distro          Available  Certified
