# Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `pandas` for the DHCP parser
|
||
|
|
- `racadm` to talk to the Dells
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Put a list of IPs in `hostnames.csv` - 2 IPs are given as an example
|
||
|
|
2. Run `dhcp_parser.py`
|
||
|
|
1. This will reference the IPs and lookup the hostnames that match
|
||
|
|
2. The output is written back to hostnames.csv
|
||
|
|
3. (optional) Export a known-good XML from a DRAC host, and place it in drac-prod.xml.base
|
||
|
|
1. **This is optional, the repo contains our current XML with the edits already done**
|
||
|
|
2. e.g. `sudo racadm -r <ip> -u admin -p "supersecret" get -f ./drac-prod.xml.base -t xml --clone`
|
||
|
|
3. Edit NIC.1#DNSRacName and replace the hostname with PLACEHOLDER, like this:
|
||
|
|
- `<Attribute Name="NIC.1#DNSRacName">PLACEHOLDER</Attribute>`
|
||
|
|
4. Edit the Users and comment out the passwords for the relevant users
|
||
|
|
- `<!-- <Attribute Name="Users.2#Password"></Attribute> -->`
|
||
|
|
4. Edit `xml_writer` to set the passwords used for the prod and stg environments (lines 47, 50, 56 & 59)
|
||
|
|
4. Run `python xml_writer.py`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Output
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will generate 2 directories and 4 scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The directories are called `prod` and `stg` and contain the customised XML for
|
||
|
|
each target host in the IP list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The files are `prod.sh`, `stg.sh`, `prod_test.sh` and `stg_test.sh`. Run the
|
||
|
|
test scripts first - these simply use `racadm` to test the user/password works
|
||
|
|
for each host. `racadm` can be noisy, so run it like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
bash ./stg_test.sh 2>&1 |grep -E "(10.16|ERROR)"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obviously replace the 10.16 with the real IPs - you want to match all the
|
||
|
|
hosts but not the random text `racadm` spews out
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any fail, check the access manually, and re-run until then work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then run the main script, eg `bash stg.sh` which will apply the custom XML from
|
||
|
|
the directory to the each host in series.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run the test script another time after to check access still works
