New 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

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.

Executing commands

The new 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 by typing help at the openstack prompt. Note that many of these commands are available only to OpenStack administrators and will show some unuseful error message if a non-administrator tries using it.
