The manila shell utility¶
Important
This shell client is deprecated as of version 5.0.0
. A future
version of python-manilaclient may not ship this legacy shell client. If
you rely on it, it is highly recommended that you begin using the
openstack CLI client right away. Refer to the mapping guide to help with this transition.
The manila shell utility interacts with the OpenStack Manila API from the command line. It supports the entirety of the OpenStack Manila API.
You’ll need to provide manila with your OpenStack username and API key. You can do this with the –os-username, –os-password and –os-tenant-name options, but it’s easier to just set them as environment variables by setting two environment variables:
- OS_USERNAME or MANILA_USERNAME¶
Your OpenStack Manila username.
- OS_PASSWORD or MANILA_PASSWORD¶
Your password.
- OS_TENANT_NAME or MANILA_PROJECT_ID¶
Project for work.
- OS_AUTH_URL or MANILA_URL¶
The OpenStack API server URL.
- OS_SHARE_API_VERSION¶
The OpenStack Shared Filesystems API version.
For example, in Bash you’d use:
export OS_USERNAME=foo
export OS_PASSWORD=bar
export OS_TENANT_NAME=foobarproject
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://...
export OS_SHARE_API_VERSION=2
From there, all shell commands take the form:
manila <command> [arguments...]
Run manila help to get a full list of all possible commands, and run manila help <command> to get detailed help for that command.
