Arguments:
OUTPUT the output format
COMMAND positional arguments, the commands you want to
execute on the server(e.g. ls -a) separated by ';',
you will get a return of executing result instead of login to
the server, note that type in -- is suggested before
you input the commands
NAME server name. By default it is set to the name of last vm from database.
NAMES server name. By default it is set to the name of last vm from database.
KEYPAIR_NAME Name of the vm keypair to be used to create VM. Note this is
not a path to key.
NEWNAMES New names of the VM while renaming.
OLDNAMES Old names of the VM while renaming.
Options:
-v verbose, prints the dict at the end
--output=OUTPUT the output format
-H --modify-knownhosts Do not modify ~/.ssh/known_hosts file
when ssh'ing into a machine
--username=USERNAME the username to login into the vm. If not
specified it will be guessed
from the image name and the cloud
--ip=IP give the public ip of the server
--cloud=CLOUD give a cloud to work on, if not given, selected
or default cloud will be used
--count=COUNT give the number of servers to start
--detail for table, a brief version
is used as default, use this flag to print
detailed table
--flavor=FLAVOR give the name or id of the flavor
--group=GROUP give the group name of server
--secgroup=SECGROUP security group name for the server
--image=IMAGE give the name or id of the image
--key=KEY specify a key to use, input a string which
is the full path to the private key file
--keypair_name=KEYPAIR_NAME Name of the vm keypair to
be used to create VM.
Note this is not a path to key.
--user=USER give the user name of the server that you want
to use to login
--name=NAME give the name of the virtual machine
--force rename/ delete vms without user's confirmation
--command=COMMAND
specify the commands to be executed
Description:
commands used to boot, start or delete servers of a cloud
vm default [options...]
Displays default parameters that are set for vm boot either
on the default cloud or the specified cloud.
vm boot [options...]
Boots servers on a cloud, user may specify flavor, image
.etc, otherwise default values will be used, see how to set
default values of a cloud: cloud help
vm start [options...]
Starts a suspended or stopped vm instance.
vm stop [options...]
Stops a vm instance .
vm delete [options...]
Delete servers of a cloud, user may delete a server by its
name or id, delete servers of a group or servers of a cloud,
give prefix and/or range to find servers by their names.
Or user may specify more options to narrow the search
vm floating_ip_assign [options...]
assign a public ip to a VM of a cloud
vm ip show [options...]
show the ips of VMs
vm ssh [options...]
login to a server or execute commands on it
vm list [options...]
same as command "list vm", please refer to it
vm status [options...]
Retrieves status of last VM booted on cloud and displays it.
vm refresh [--cloud=CLOUDS]
this command refreshes the data for virtual machines,
images and flavors for the specified clouds.
vm ping [NAMES] [--cloud=CLOUDS] [--count=N] [--processors=PROCESSORS]
pings the specified virtual machines, while using at most N pings.
The ping is executed in parallel.
If names are specifies the ping is restricted to the given names in
parameter format. If clouds are specified, names that are not in
these clouds are ignored. If the name is set in the variables
this name is used.
cms vm ssh --command="uname -a"
executes the uname command on the last booted vm
vm script [--name=NAMES]
[--username=USERNAME]
[--key=KEY]
[--dryrun]
[--dir=DESTINATION]
[--shell=SHELL]
SCRIPT
The script command copies a shell script to the specified vms
into the DESTINATION directory and than execute it. With
SHELL you can set the shell for executing the command,
this coudl even be a python interpreter. Examples for
SHELL are /bin/sh, /usr/bin/env python
vm put SOURCE DESTINATION [NAMES]
puts the file defined by SOURCE into the DESINATION folder
on the specified machines. If the file exists it is
overwritten, so be careful.
vm get SOURCE DESTINATION [NAMES]
gets the file defined by SOURCE into the DESINATION folder
on the specified machines. The SOURCE is on the remote
machine. If one machine is specified, the SOURCE is the same
name as on the remote machine. If multiple machines are
specified, the name of the machine will be a prefix to the
filename. If the filenames exists, they will be overwritten,
so be careful.
Tip:
give the VM name, but in a hostlist style, which is very
convenient when you need a range of VMs e.g. sample[1-3]
=> ['sample1', 'sample2', 'sample3']
sample[1-3,18] => ['sample1', 'sample2', 'sample3', 'sample18']
Quoting commands:
cm vm login gregor-004 --command="uname -a"
Limitations:
Azure: rename is not supported
