openstack baremetal Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Synopsis

openstack [options] baremetal <command> [command-options]

Description

The OpenStack Client plugin interacts with the Bare Metal service through the openstack baremetal command line interface (CLI).

To use the openstack CLI, the OpenStackClient (python-openstackclient) package must be installed. There are two ways to do this:

  • along with this python-ironicclient package:

    $ pip install python-ironicclient[cli]

  • directly:

    $ pip install python-openstackclient

This CLI is provided by python-openstackclient and osc-lib projects:

Authentication

To use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password, project, and auth endpoint. You can use configuration options --os-username, --os-password, --os-project-id (or --os-project-name), and --os-auth-url, or set the corresponding environment variables:

$ export OS_USERNAME=user
$ export OS_PASSWORD=password
$ export OS_PROJECT_NAME=project                         # or OS_PROJECT_ID
$ export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=default
$ export OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=default
$ export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
$ export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/identity
