This section explains the functions and attributes of each file which compose a script.
File Type | Function | File Name Rule | Extension |
In this file, scripts are arranged in the order of execution for auto-configuration of network devices. | - | lst | |
For setup Script lists for adding settings to network devices according to the purpose of the ruleset, such as port VLAN settings, firewall rules for blocking unauthorized access, and server load balancing rules. | "create" | ||
For setup error recovery Script lists for recovering configurations for network devices in case errors occur when creating L-Platforms or network resources. Preparation of this script is not necessary if the recovery process is not necessary when an error occurs while executing a script list for setup. | "create_recovery" | ||
For modification Script lists for modifying parameters that were 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.lst" | ||
For modification error recovery Script list for recovering configurations for network devices when an error occurs in the script lists for modification. This script list is needed only if the recovery process is needed after occurrence of an error. | "modify_recovery" | ||
For deletion Script list for deleting parameters configured in the script lists for setup or modification. | "delete" | ||
For creation of interface for adjoining server This script list is used to connect a physical L-Server and network resources when creating a physical L-Server. This script list adds configurations, for example, VLAN configurations corresponding to network resources, for the L2 switch port connected to the NIC of the rack server where the physical L-Server is created. | "connect" | ||
For error recovery of creation of an interface for an adjoining server This script list is used to recover configurations for network devices when an error occurs in the script lists for creation of an interface for an adjoining server. This script list is needed only if the recovery process is needed after occurrence of an error during creation of an interface for an adjoining server. | "connect_recovery" | ||
For deleting an interface for an adjoining server 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" | ||
For operation Script lists for obtaining information from a network device by executing operation commands such as the ones for state display and log collection. | "operate" | ||
In this file, the procedure for auto-configuration of network devices is written. | An arbitrary character string composed of alphanumeric characters, hyphens ("-"), and underscores ("_"). | Language dependent | |
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 | |
In this file, the parameters which can be customized in the scripts are written. |
| prm | |
In this file, the parameters for network device interface configuration which can be customized in the scripts are written. | "Unm_network_setting" | xml |
