如何在Rails控制台中设置基本ManageIQ自动化环境？

Question

I used to run some operations in ManageIQ through automate simulation, which is available from UI. I'd like to find a way to reproduce these operations from rails console.

For example operations for Instance management - migrate , evacuate or relocate instance. How do I make it?

Answer 1

There's the common way to do this:

Set up a basic $evm context in a Rails console

# rails c

# $evm = MiqAeMethodService::MiqAeService.new(MiqAeEngine::MiqAeWorkspaceRuntime.new)

For example you can find any VM in vmdb and define it into a variable:

# vm = $evm.vmdb('vm').find('some_id')

Similar with other objects, eg

flavor = $evm.vmdb('flavor').find(flavor_id)
