Table Resources¶

URI list which can be used to create, query, change table entries.

[URI:/tables/{tablelist}/nodes/{noderange}] - The node table resource¶

For a large number of nodes, this API call can be faster than using the corresponding nodes resource. The disadvantage is that you need to know the table names the attributes are stored in.

GET - Get attributes of tables for a noderange.¶

Returns:

An object containing each table. Within each table object is an array of node objects containing the attributes.

Example1:

Get all the columns from table nodetype for node1 and node2.

curl -X GET -k 'https://127.0.0.1/xcatws/tables/nodetype/nodes/node1,node2?userName=root&userPW=cluster&pretty=1'
{
   "nodetype":[
      {
         "provmethod":"rhels6.4-x86_64-install-compute",
         "profile":"compute",
         "arch":"x86_64",
         "name":"node1",
         "os":"rhels6.4"
      },
      {
         "provmethod":"rhels6.3-x86_64-install-compute",
         "profile":"compute",
         "arch":"x86_64",
         "name":"node2",
         "os":"rhels6.3"
      }
   ]
}

Example2:

Get all the columns from tables nodetype and noderes for node1 and node2.

curl -X GET -k 'https://127.0.0.1/xcatws/tables/nodetype,noderes/nodes/node1,node2?userName=root&userPW=cluster&pretty=1'
{
   "noderes":[
      {
         "installnic":"mac",
         "netboot":"xnba",
         "name":"node1",
         "nfsserver":"192.168.1.15"
      },
      {
         "installnic":"mac",
         "netboot":"pxe",
         "name":"node2",
         "proxydhcp":"no"
      }
   ],
   "nodetype":[
      {
         "provmethod":"rhels6.4-x86_64-install-compute",
         "profile":"compute",
         "arch":"x86_64",
         "name":"node1",
         "os":"rhels6.4"
      },
      {
         "provmethod":"rhels6.3-x86_64-install-compute",
         "profile":"compute",
         "arch":"x86_64",
         "name":"node2",
         "os":"rhels6.3"
      }
   ]
}

PUT - Change the node table attributes for {noderange}.¶

Parameters:

A hash of table names and attribute objects. DataBody: {table1:{attr1:v1,att2:v2,…}}.

Returns:

No output when execution is successful. Otherwise output the error information in the Standard Error Format: {error:[msg1,msg2…],errocode:errornum}.

Example:

Change the nodetype.arch and noderes.netboot attributes for nodes node1,node2.

curl -X PUT -k 'https://127.0.0.1/xcatws/tables/nodetype,noderes/nodes/node1,node2?userName=root&userPW=cluster&pretty=1' -H Content-Type:application/json --data '{"nodetype":{"arch":"x86_64"},"noderes":{"netboot":"xnba"}}'

[URI:/tables/{tablelist}/nodes/nodes/{noderange}/{attrlist}] - The node table attributes resource¶

For a large number of nodes, this API call can be faster than using the corresponding nodes resource. The disadvantage is that you need to know the table names the attributes are stored in.

GET - Get table attributes for a noderange.¶

Returns:

An object containing each table. Within each table object is an array of node objects containing the attributes.

Example:

Get OS and ARCH attributes from nodetype table for node1 and node2.

curl -X GET -k 'https://127.0.0.1/xcatws/tables/nodetype/nodes/node1,node2/os,arch?userName=root&userPW=cluster&pretty=1'
{
   "nodetype":[
      {
         "arch":"x86_64",
         "name":"node1",
         "os":"rhels6.4"
      },
      {
         "arch":"x86_64",
         "name":"node2",
         "os":"rhels6.3"
      }
   ]
}

[URI:/tables/{tablelist}/rows] - The non-node table resource¶

Use this for tables that don’t have node name as the key of the table, for example: passwd, site, networks, policy, etc.

GET - Get all rows from non-node tables.¶

Returns:

An object containing each table. Within each table object is an array of row objects containing the attributes.

Example:

Get all rows from networks table.

curl -X GET -k 'https://127.0.0.1/xcatws/tables/networks/rows?userName=root&userPW=cluster&pretty=1'
{
   "networks":[
      {
         "netname":"192_168_13_0-255_255_255_0",
         "gateway":"192.168.13.254",
         "staticrangeincrement":"1",
         "net":"192.168.13.0",
         "mask":"255.255.255.0"
      },
      {
         "netname":"192_168_12_0-255_255_255_0",

         "mask":"255.255.255.0"
      },
   ]
}

[URI:/tables/{tablelist}/rows/{keys}] - The non-node table rows resource¶

Use this for tables that don’t have node name as the key of the table, for example: passwd, site, networks, policy, etc.

{keys} should be the name=value pairs which are used to search table. e.g. {keys} should be [net=192.168.1.0,mask=255.255.255.0] for networks table query since the net and mask are the keys of networks table.

GET - Get attributes for rows from non-node tables.¶

Returns:

An object containing each table. Within each table object is an array of row objects containing the attributes.

Example:

Get rows from networks table where net=192.168.1.0,mask=255.255.255.0.

         "net":"192.168.1.0",
         "mask":"255.255.255.0"
      }
   ]
}
