[[!meta title="Sexy and cdist interaction: Sexy chooses hosts, cdist configures"]]
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Version 2 of [[sexy|software/sexy]],
|
|
the Swiss Army Knife for inventory management, is already
|
|
**using** and **usable** from [[cdist/software/cdist]].
|
|
|
|
This is the first blog post of a series showing examples of
|
|
using sexy and cdist.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Cdist is executed with a list of hosts to operate on:
|
|
|
|
% cdist config
|
|
usage: cdist config [-h] [-d] [-v] [-c CDIST_HOME] [-i MANIFEST] [-p] [-s]
|
|
[--remote-copy REMOTE_COPY] [--remote-exec REMOTE_EXEC]
|
|
host [host ...]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sexy in turn is able to manage hosts, mac addresses and networks:
|
|
|
|
% sexy
|
|
usage: sexy [-h] [-d] [-v] [-V] {net-ipv4,host,mac} ...
|
|
sexy: error: too few arguments
|
|
|
|
Sexy knows about a command to list hosts, named **host list**.
|
|
So I can use sexy to tell cdist which hosts to configure. For instance
|
|
all dhcp servers:
|
|
|
|
% sexy host list | grep dhcp
|
|
dhcp-vm-inx01.intra.local.ch
|
|
dhcp-vm-inx02.intra.local.ch
|
|
dhcp-vm-snr01.intra.local.ch
|
|
dhcp-vm-snr02.intra.local.ch
|
|
|
|
% ./bin/cdist config -vp $(sexy host list | grep dhcp)
|
|
INFO: dhcp-vm-inx01.intra.local.ch: Running global explorers
|
|
INFO: dhcp-vm-snr01.intra.local.ch: Running global explorers
|
|
INFO: dhcp-vm-snr02.intra.local.ch: Running global explorers
|
|
INFO: dhcp-vm-inx02.intra.local.ch: Running global explorers
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Sexy, isn't it?
