This section explains the functions and attributes of each file which compose a script.
Table F.1 Function and Attributes of Each FileFile Type | Function | File Name Rule | Extension |
Script List Files | In this file, scripts are arranged in the order of execution for auto-configuration of network devices.
Include all script lists for operating network devices in one operation (creation, modification, or deletion of L-Platforms or network resources). | - | lst |
Script Lists for Setup
Script list to add configurations for network devices such as VLAN configurations for ports of interfaces or firewall rules to prevent unauthorized access, and server load balancing rules. | "create" |
Script Lists for Setup Error Recovery
Script list to recover configurations for network devices in case errors occur when creating L-Platforms or network resources. This script list is needed only if the recovery process is needed after occurrence of an error. | "create_recovery" |
Script List for Modification
Script list to modify parameters configured in the script lists for setup. In addition to modification of configuration parameter values, this type of script list can be used for addition or deletion of physical port settings or interface configurations when attaching or detaching servers. When adding or deleting configurations for physical ports or interfaces, it is necessary to reflect the configuration changes made by the script for modification onto the script list for setup or the script list for deletion. | "modify" |
Script Lists for Modification Error Recovery
Script list to recover configurations for network devices when an error occurs in the script lists for modification. This script list is needed only if recovery process is needed after occurrence of an error. | "modify_recovery" |
Script Lists for Deletion
Script list to delete parameters configured in the script lists for setup or modification. | "delete" |
Script Lists for Setup (Physical Server Added)
This script list is used to connect physical L-Server and network resource when creating physical L-Server. This script list automatically adds configurations for example, VLAN configurations corresponding to network resource, to L2 switch port connected to NIC of Rack Server where physical L-Server is created. | "connect" |
Script Lists for Setup Error Recovery (Physical Server Added)
This script list is used to recover configurations for network devices when an error occurs in the script lists for setup (physical server added). This script list is needed only if the recovery process is needed after occurrence of an error. | "connect_recovery" |
Script Lists for Deletion (Physical Server Deleted)
This script list is used to release physical L-Server connection with network resource when deleting physical L-Server. This script list automatically deletes configurations, for example, VLAN configurations corresponding to network resource, from L2 switch port connected to NIC of Rack Server where physical L-Server is created. | "disconnect" |
Script Lists for Operations
Script lists for obtaining information from a network device by executing operation commands such as the ones for state display and log collection. | "operate" |
Script Files | In this file, the procedure for auto-configuration of network devices is written. | An arbitrary character string composed of alphanumeric characters, hyphens ("-"), and underscores ("_").
The valid characters and string lengths depend on the OS or the rules of the script language. | Language dependent |
Command Files | In this file, the list of commands which will be sent to network devices are written. | A string of alphanumeric characters, hyphens ("-"), and underscores ("_"), within 32 characters in length. | cli |
Parameter Files | In this file, the parameters which can be customized in the scripts are written. | "default_param.prm" For rulesets for L-Platform templates, this name is fixed. User defined name For rulesets used by network resources, specify this using up to 32 alphanumeric characters, including hyphens ("-") and underscores ("_").
| prm |
Interface Configuration Files | In this file, the parameters for network device interface configuration which can be customized in the scripts are written. | "Unm_network_setting" | xml |
