The cinder shell utility
cinder
The cinder shell
utility interacts with OpenStack Nova API from the command line. It
supports the entirety of the OpenStack Nova API.
First, you'll need an OpenStack Nova account and an API key. You get this by using the cinder-manage command in OpenStack Nova.
You'll need to provide cinder with your OpenStack username and API key.
You can do this with the --os_username, --os_password and --os_tenant_id options, but it's easier to just set
them as environment variables by setting two environment variables:
OS_USERNAME
Your OpenStack Nova username.
OS_PASSWORD
Your password.
OS_TENANT_NAME
Project for work.
OS_AUTH_URL
The OpenStack API server URL.
OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION
The OpenStack API version.
For example, in Bash you'd use:
export OS_USERNAME=yourname
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://...
export OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION=1.1From there, all shell commands take the form:
cinder <command> [arguments...]Run cinder help
to get a full list of all possible commands, and run cinder help <command> to get detailed help
for that command.
