How to Run Inventory

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

From repository1

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

   root@repository1:~# cd /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
   root@repository1:/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg# ln -s inventory-nb-grid 0A0A
   

Domain	Source	Target
Grid	inventory-nb-grid	0A0A
SB1	inventory-nb-sb1	0A0B
SB2	inventory-nb-sb2	0A0C
SB3	inventory-nb-sb3	0A0D
SB4	inventory-nb-sb4	0A0E
SB5	inventory-nb-sb5	0A0F
SB6	inventory-nb-sb6	0A10
SB7	inventory-nb-sb7	0A11
SB8	inventory-nb-sb8	0A12
SB9	inventory-nb-sb9	0A13
Outdoor	inventory-nb-outdoor	0A28

2. goto the /export/nfsroot/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d and make a symbolic link to head for the proper domain:

For grid:

cd /export/nfsroot/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d
root@repository1:/export/nfsroot/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d# ln -s head.grid head

For sb1:

cd /export/nfsroot/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d
root@repository1:/export/nfsroot/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d# ln -s head.sb1 head

From console (grid or sandbox)

3. If you are inventorying grid:

Run the run_inventory script (this script will take 45 minutes to run):

root@console.grid:~# cd /root/inventory/
root@console.grid:/root/inventory# ./run_inventory.rb

Starting Output will look like:

root@console.grid:/root/inventory# ./run_inventory.rb 
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/restclient/response.rb:11: warning: method redefined; discarding old body

If you are inventorying a sandbox:

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

Check the inventory page for the sandbox you are inventorying, e.g. for sandbox9:

http://internal1.orbit-lab.org:5054/inventory/attribute_list?set=node*.sb9.orbit-lab.org*

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

4. 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 set in Step 1.

rm 0A0A

From internal1

5. 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
   

6. Update topologies by running the ruby scripts:

   root@internal1:~# cd /usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omf-aggmgr/ogs_inventory/
   root@internal1:/usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omf-aggmgr/ogs_inventory# ruby mktopo_cpu.rb
   root@internal1:/usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omf-aggmgr/ogs_inventory# ruby mktopo_dev.rb
   root@internal1:/usr/share/omf-aggmgr-5.4/omf-aggmgr/ogs_inventory# ruby mktopo_disk.rb
   

   Note: Each ruby script 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.
