UI Automation

ECS UI - Script Driven Object Provisioning -:

step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=Coma seperated list of datanodes --Namespace=namespace --ObjectVArray=Object vArray Name --ObjectVPool=Object VPool name --UserName=user name to be created --DataStoreName=Name of the datastore to be created --VDCName=Name of the VDC --MethodName=Operation to be performed

Run the script with below values 1 step at a time for –MethodName parameter . The parameters are mentioned below in the sequence in which they should be invoked.

• UploadLicense
• CreateObjectVarray
• CreateDataStore
• InsertVDC
• CreateObjectVpool
• CreateNamespace
• CreateUser - CreateUser method will return an exception that user already exists. Ignore the exception and proceed to create secret key for the user. Looks like the user is being created in spite of the exception.
• CreateSecretKey

Note: If -MethodName option is not provided all the Object Provisioning steps will be run in the same sequence as above automatically.

Note: The script may throw error when run using the old version of Python 2.6.8. Python 2.7.8 works fine for the script

Executing the Script using individual steps

Using the example Hosts and information provided on the documentation:

Hostname	IP Address	Disk Name
ecstestnode1	10.0.1.10	sdc sdd
ecstestnode2	10.0.1.11	sdc sdd
ecstestnode3	10.0.1.12	sdc sdd
ecstestnode4	10.0.1.13	sdc sdd

These are example values for the parameters:

Variable Name	Variable Description	Example Value
ECSNodes	IP Addresses of the ECS Nodes (coma delimited list).	10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13
NameSpace	The objects' Namespace	ns1

|ObjectVArray | The objects' Virtual Array | ova1 |

|ObjectVPool | The objects' Virtual Pool | ov1 | |DataStoreName | The name of the Data Store.| ds1 | |VDCName | The name of the Virtual Data Center.| vdc1 | |MethodName | The name of step to be executed. Leave blank for automated and add a value for a manual installation| [empty] |

Step 1: Upload the License File

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=UploadLicense

Step 2: Create Object Virtual Array

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=CreateObjectVarray

Step 3: Create the Data Store

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=CreateDataStore

Step 4: Insert VDC

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=InsertVDC

Step 5: Create Object Virtual Pool

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=CreateObjectVpool

Step 6: Create the Namespace

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=CreateNamespace

Step 7: Create a User

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=CreateUser

Step 8: Create the SecretKey

sudo python step2_object_provisioning.py --ECSNodes=10.0.1.10,10.0.1.11,10.0.1.12,10.0.1.13 --Namespace=ns1 --ObjectVArray=ova1 --ObjectVPool=ovp1 --UserName=emccode --DataStoreName=ds1 --VDCName=vdc1 --MethodName=CreateSecretKey
