Overview
--------
This is a client for the OpenStack `Bare Metal API
<https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/baremetal/>`_. It provides:
* a Python API: the ``ironicclient`` module, and
* two command-line interfaces: ``openstack baremetal`` and ``ironic``
(deprecated, please use ``openstack baremetal``).
Development takes place via the usual OpenStack processes as outlined in the
`developer guide <https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html>`_.
The master repository is on `git.openstack.org
<https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/python-ironicclient>`_.
``python-ironicclient`` is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0,
like the rest of OpenStack.

Python API
----------
Quick-start Example::
>>> from ironicclient import client
>>>
>>> kwargs = {'os_auth_token': '3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155',
>>> 'ironic_url': 'http://ironic.example.org:6385/'}
>>> ironic = client.get_client(1, **kwargs)
``openstack baremetal`` CLI
---------------------------
The ``openstack baremetal`` command line interface is available when the bare
metal plugin (included in this package) is used with the `OpenStackClient
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/>`_.
There are two ways to install the OpenStackClient (python-openstackclient)
package:
* along with this python-ironicclient package::
# pip install python-ironicclient[cli]
* directly::
# pip install python-openstackclient
An example of creating a basic node with the ``ipmi`` driver::
$ openstack baremetal node create --driver ipmi
An example of creating a port on a node::
$ openstack baremetal port create --node <UUID> AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
An example of updating driver properties for a node::
$ openstack baremetal node set --driver-info ipmi_address=<IPaddress> <UUID or name>
For more information about the ``openstack baremetal`` command and
the subcommands available, run::
$ openstack help baremetal
``ironic`` CLI (deprecated)
---------------------------
This is deprecated and will be removed in the S* release. Please use the
``openstack baremetal`` CLI instead.
This package will install the ``ironic`` command line interface that you
can use to interact with the ``ironic`` API.
In order to use the ``ironic`` CLI you'll need to provide your OpenStack
tenant, username, password and authentication endpoint. You can do this with
the ``--os-tenant-name``, ``--os-username``, ``--os-password`` and
``--os-auth-url`` parameters, though it may be easier to set them
as environment variables::
$ export OS_PROJECT_NAME=project
$ export OS_USERNAME=user
$ export OS_PASSWORD=pass
$ export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0
To use a specific Ironic API endpoint::
$ export IRONIC_URL=http://ironic.example.com:6385
An example of creating a basic node with the ``ipmi`` driver::
$ ironic node-create -d ipmi
An example of creating a port on a node::
$ ironic port-create -a AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF -n nodeUUID
An example of updating driver properties for a node::
$ ironic node-update nodeUUID add driver_info/ipmi_address=<IPaddress>
$ ironic node-update nodeUUID add driver_info/ipmi_username=<username>
$ ironic node-update nodeUUID add driver_info/ipmi_password=<password>
For more information about the ``ironic`` command and the subcommands
available, run::
$ ironic help
