How to Run Inventory

To run inventory preform the following (ALL STEPS AS ROOT):

From internal1

1. Disable inventory service security:

   cd /etc/omf-aggmgr-5.4/enabled
   

   Uncomment the following line in inventory.yaml (remove the #):

   #        - '*'
   

   Restart OMF Agg Manager:

   service omf-aggmgr-5.4 restart
   

From repository1

2. Goto the tfptboot directory and make a symbolic link for the appropriate domain:

   cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
   

   ln -s ./inventory/test-inv-all 0A0A
   

Domain	Source	Target
Grid	test-inv-all	0A0A
SB1	test-inv-all	0A0B
SB2	test-inv-all	0A0C
SB3	test-inv-all	0A0D
SB4	test-inv-all	0A0E
SB5	test-inv-all	0A0F
SB6	test-inv-all	0A10
SB7	test-inv-all	0A11
SB8	test-inv-all	0A12
SB9	test-inv-all	0A13
Outdoor	test-inv-all	0A28

From console (grid or sandbox)

4. Turn on (or restart) all nodes, so they boot into the inventory pxe-image:

   omf tell -a on -t all
   

From a browser on any machine that can see internal1

5. Check the inventory page for the sandbox you are inventorying and monitor the INV_check_in attribute:

Domain	URL
Grid	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.grid.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB1	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb1.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB2	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb2.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB3	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb3.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB4	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb4.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB5	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb5.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB6	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb6.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB7	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb7.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB8	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb8.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
SB9	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb9.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in
Outdoor	​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.outdoor.orbit-lab.org&attribute=INV_check_in

Wait until all the nodes check in, then proceed to next step.

From repository1

6. Break the symbolic link!!! If this is not done the next person to use the grid/sandbox will have a bad time.

Note: Where 0A0A is the hex target set in Step 1 (example):

rm /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/0A0A

From internal1

7. Update the inventory service "domain topology" cache (which nodes belong to what testbeds) by visiting the following URL (takes 2-3 minutes to complete):

​http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/update_cache

8. Update topologies:

   cd /usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omf-aggmgr/ogs_inventory/scripts
   

   ./mktopo all
   

   Note: This takes some time to preform all the actions, and the omf-agg-manager restarts every even hour on the 11th minute. If the ruby process is running at that time it will fail.

9. Restore inventory service security ( !!! SUPER IMPORTANT !!! ):

   cd /etc/omf-aggmgr-5.4/enabled
   

   Comment out the following line in inventory.yaml (add # to beginning of line):

       - '*'
   

   Restart OMF Agg Manager:

   service omf-aggmgr-5.4 restart
   

Checking progress

You can check the status of inventory by running the ./getfailed script in /root/inventory on the grid console. Set the date in the script to the last time inventory was run. Any nodes in the inventory DB missing a checkin, or with one older than that, will be listed.
