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
   

HEX	Domain
0A0A	Grid
0A0B	SB1
0A0C	SB2
0A0D	SB3
0A0E	SB4
0A0F	SB5
0A10	SB6
0A11	SB7
0A12	SB8
0A13	SB9
0A28	Outdoor

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.

From repository1

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

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
   

From internal1

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.
