vcd-cpi-cli

This is a CLI tool which invokes ruby_vcloud_sdk and bosh_vcloud_cpi directly, for debugging and testing.

How to use

It depends on how you want to use:

1. You already installed ruby_vcloud_sdk and bosh_vcloud_cpi through gem install ...

   Then, you don't need special operations, just do bundle install and you can invoke bin/vcd-cli ...

2. You are modifying ruby_vcloud_sdk or bosh_vcloud_cpi, and you hate building and installing gem very time

   The dynamic loading feature will help you a lot. Set two envionrment variables:

   • SDK_PATH: pointing to ruby_vcloud_sdk folder;
   • CPI_PATH: pointing to bosh_vcloud_cpi folder;
   • BOSH_PATH: pointing to bosh source tree, required by cpi.

   Then do bundle install once, from now on, keep the above environment variables, you can do bin/vcd-cli ...

Commands

Refer to internal design doc. Will be updated here later.

Example

Here's a simple example:

1. Clone source code

git clone https://github.com/vchs/bosh -b vcloud_cpi_changes
git clone https://github.com/vchs/vcd-cpi-cli

2. Setup environment variables and do bundle install

export BOSH_PATH=`pwd`/bosh
export SDK_PATH=$BOSH_PATH/ruby_vcloud_sdk
export CPI_PATH=$BOSH_PATH/bosh_vcloud_cpi
cd vcd-cpi-cli
bundle install

3. Create a configuration file

cp sample-config.yml _my_config.yml
# update _my_config.yml with your vCloud settings
bin/vcd-cli target ./_my_config.yml

4. Start working with cli

bin/vcd-cli cpi create-stemcell ~/Downloads/vsphere-stemcell-0.8.1.tar.gz
