Combined OpenStack CLI tool
Installation
[name@server ~]$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip
[name@server ~]$ pip install python-openstackclient
see [http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/common/cli_install_openstack_command_line_clients.html]
To install on a machine (ACENET specifically without admin privileges) use:
[name@server ~]$ pip install --user python-openstackclient
provided that pip is install which installs to ~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/ so by adding export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:${PYTHONPATH} to your .bashrc file if you are using Python major version X=2, and minor version Y=7 python can then load those modules. Further adding export PATH=${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH} to your .bashrc will allow you to run the openstack commands directly.
Executing commands
The combined CLI tool can be used interactively by running
[name@server ~]$ openstack
and then issuing commands at the prompt. Alternatively the commands can be issued as one-offs by a preceding the command with openstack, for example
[name@server ~]$ openstack server list
When running in interactive mode a list of available commands can be seen by typing help at the openstack prompt. The available commands are categorized by groups, many of the most commonly used are listed below (e.g. server command group. More information on a particular command group can be obtained by typing help <command group> where <command group> is the particular command group e.g. server. To get help on a particular command (e.g. options and arguments) one can type help <command group> <command>. Note that many of the available commands are available only to OpenStack administrators and will show some meaningless error message if a non-administrator tries using it. For this reason a list of available commands grouped by command group is provided below to allow one to easily identify commands available to the average user.
