ModiPy Documentation Updates

I’ve been doing a bit of work on ModiPy this week. In particular, I’ve been writing documentation on how to use it. While still far from comprehensive, you can now get a much better idea of how to use it from the wiki.

I draw your attention particularly to the QuickStart guide. I hope this goes some way to describe just how easy it is to get a working set of changes automated using this tool.

I’m fixing up the code for another point release soonish. Not sure when, probably once I’ve triaged the bugs and missing features I find as I write things up.

Here’s a piece of bonus doco, though. This is the configuration I just used to add all the license keys to a NetApp simulater I’ve just re-installed.

<config>

  <!-- define my provisioner -->
  <provisioner
      name='netapp_zapi_provisioner'
      module='modipy.netapp'
      type='ZAPIProvisioner'
      command_timeout='30'>
  </provisioner>

  <!-- define some devices I want to provision to -->
  <device name='siteA-fashda-01'>
    <ipaddress>10.232.8.110</ipaddress>
  </device>

  <device name='siteA-fashdb-01'>
    <ipaddress>10.232.8.111</ipaddress>
  </device>

  <device name='siteA-fasnst-01'>
    <ipaddress>10.232.8.112</ipaddress>
  </device>

  <iterator name="license_keys_csv"
        type='csv'
        file="simulator-licenses.csv">
  </iterator>

  <!-- Define the changes I want to apply -->

  <change name="add_licenses" iterator="license_keys_csv"
      module="modipy.netapp" type="ZAPIChange">

    <target name="siteA-fashda-01"/>

    <impl>
      <zapicommand>
    <license-add>
      <code>%(key)s</code>
    </license-add>
      </zapicommand>
      <!-- We ignore errno 22, which is an invalid license code -->
      <condition>results.status == 'passed' or results.errno == 22</condition>
    </impl>

    <backout>
      <zapicommand>
    <license-delete>
      <service>%(license)s</service>
    </license-delete>
      </zapicommand>
      <condition>results.status == 'passed' or results.errno == 22</condition>
    </backout>

  </change>
</config>
