Exalogic Virtual Tea Break Snippets - EATT Create Assembly OTD/WLS Cookbook

In the blog entry "Exalogic Virtual Tea Break Snippets - Create Assets Evolution" I described how the our asset / asssembley creation scripts had evolved to Python as a processing language and JSON as a file format. As part of that blog I briefly described the assembly configuration section and how it defines scripts that can be executed on the previously created vServers. Within this blog I intend to provide a Cookbook for using the new functionality to install and configure a simple OTD / WLS installation consisting of 3 OTD vServers and 3 WLS vServers linked over the Infiniband network. All scripts associated with the process can be found in Exalogic A-Team Tools folder (/exalogic-att) on the downloadable PythonUtilityTemplate and with some simple tweaks you should be able to build your own test environment.

Exalogic Virtual Tea Break Snippets - Pythonised SimpleExaCli

Having completed the CreateAssembly (Create Assets) re-write of the SimpleExaCli I decided it was time to migrate some of the additional functionality I use and enhancing the outputs to match my requirements. This quick blog entry will describe the currently migrated commands and their new output structure. In accordance with my previous CreateAssembly blog I have split the functions into smaller commands and subsequently wrapped calls to these into a top level SimplePythonExaCli.sh. Although this is not a full re-write the list of functions will grow but currently comprise of the following:

• List Accounts
• List Distribution Groups
• List Networks
• List Templates
• List Volumes
• List vServers

Each will be described in more detail but all follow the same underlying principles on parameter requirements and processing described below.
