Rui Chen 7a7bb06377 Make block-device-mapping more stable and clear
The patch fix the following issues:

1. ValueError is raised if input don't contain "=". Sometimes the whole
"server create" command is very complex, it's difficult to find out root
reason directly.
2. Don't support to add block device from snapshot, like:
--block-device-mapping
vdb=0c8ae9d8-cadc-4a23-8337-4254614d277e:snapshot:1, it's supported by
novaclient, but not in osc.
3. If input "vdb=", not add any mapping information, the server will be
launched successfully, not raise error message to let use add
volume/snapshot id, just ignore "--block-device-mapping" option.
4. The help message of "block-device-mapping" option is so simple, need
to add some details about how to add <type>, <delete_on_terminate>
contains.

OpenStackClient

Latest Version

Downloads

OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Block Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.

The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started

OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:

pip install python-openstackclient

There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options and supported commands is shown with --help:

openstack --help

There is also a help command that can be used to get help text for a specific command:

openstack help
openstack help server create

If you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution, make any changes and then run:

python setup.py develop

or:

pip install -e .

Configuration

The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.

Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:

export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password>  # (optional)

The corresponding command-line options look very similar:

--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]

If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.

Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:

export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>

The corresponding command-line options look very similar:

--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
