Tutorial

This tutorial is intended as an introduction to working with os-brick.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the os-brick distribution installed. In the Python shell, the following should run without raising an exception:

>>> import os_brick

Fetch all of the initiator information from the host

An example of how to collect the initiator information that is needed to export a volume to this host.

from os_brick.initiator import connector

# what helper do you want to use to get root access?
root_helper = "sudo"
# The ip address of the host you are running on
my_ip = "192.168.1.1"
# Do you want to support multipath connections?
multipath = True
# Do you want to enforce that multipath daemon is running?
enforce_multipath = False
initiator = connector.get_connector_properties(root_helper, my_ip,
                                               multipath,
                                               enforce_multipath)
