Re: [Users] new wiki for ovirt-engine-cli
Michael, I am interested in the ovirt-shell and I might have missed some earlier discussions. The wiki doesn't say much about how to install it. My questions are: 1. Is this part of ovirt-engine install? 2. Can it entirely replace the engine? Do you have a 'how to get started' page? David

it shipped as another rpm (ovirt-engine-cli) / tarball in release repo, only ovirt-engine-cli is more advanced than last release of oVirt, i.e it using latest ovirt-engine-sdk which is build against latest ovirt-engine, so to use ovirt-engine-cli-2.x you have to compile and deploy the engine by yourself or wait for the next release.
2. Can it entirely replace the engine?
no, it doesn't replace the engine, but using it through over-engine-sdk [1]. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/SDK

Hi Michael, Thanks for the info. Now on to more questions:) 1. Do you have a link where to get the ovirt-engine-cli rpm or tar ball? 2. I guess my real question is if the cli package can replace the engine GUI. This is necessary if I don't want to use the GUI but integrate the engine management functionalities with my own code. I don't know in this case if I should directly use the SDK or script the CLI cmds. Any suggestions? David

for coding (in python), SDK sounds the right integration level. if you want to code in a different language, worth discussing.

Hi Michael, I installed the cli rpms and connected to the engine. But the "create host" keeps giving errors and I have no clue why: [oVirt shell (connected)]# create host --address '10.10.62.106' --cluster-id 'default' --name 'xxx' --root_password 'yyy' error: incomplete command
From the help menu, the rest are optional. So why is this error?
You have examples creating vm and datacenter.

Hi David, Your 'create host' syntax is correct, only use \" instead of \' to encapsulate command arguments [1], - this is known issue in cli arguments parser and I'm currently working to fix it. [1] create host --address "10.10.62.106" --cluster-id "..." --name "xxx" --root_password "yyy" also notice: you passing string in /--cluster-id "default"/, while it should be UUID, if by-name option would be available, it would look like --cluster-name.

This is because you using not official release of the cli, (you build cli rpm from the latest git right?!, you should use rpm i gave you) so this is due to partly developed/committed feature, if you'll build new rpm now (from the git) and reinstall it (don't forget removing the old one first cause both rpms will have same version) it will work, in future please try to avoid installing non officially released tarballs.

the other option is your ovirt-engine is more advanced than cli, anyway this is one of the risks to be taken when building rpms directly from the latest git, at the moment I'm working to finalise next snapshot and will ping you when official tarballs will be available.
so this is due to partly developed/committed feature,
if you'll build new rpm now (from the git) and reinstall it (don't forget removing the old one first cause both rpms will have same version) it will work,
