Testing On vShasta v2

Testing cani on Vshasta2 has some prerequisite steps, but can provide a useful development environment. Since there is not actually any hardware on Vshasta2, it is fairly safe to interact with SLS, HSM, and the simulated redfish environment.

Prerequisites

Gcloud CLI

Install gcloud: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install

Get Access To A sVhasta v2 Instance

Request an algol60 account
Request a vShasta v2

Both of these are available via the #vshasta2 Slack channel

Log Onto The Instance

# authenticate
gcloud auth login
# generate an ssh config to use ssh directly instead of gcloud ssh
gcloud compute config-ssh --project project-id # see also: gcloud compute config-ssh --remove
# ssh to the pit or another node
ssh ncn-m002.us-central1-a.project-id # see also: gcloud ssh --project project-id ncn-m002
# install go on ncn-m002: https://go.dev/doc/install
# clone cani repo
git clone https://github.com/Cray-HPE/cani.git && cd cani
# start a cani session on vshasta
go run . alpha session init csm \
--csm-keycloak-username vshasta \
--csm-keycloak-password vshasta \
--csm-base-auth-url=https://api-gw-service-nmn.local
# if running from the pit, copy the cert from another node and pass --csm-ca-cert

There is no CMN on vShasta v2 so it is not currently possible to query a vShasta instance from outside the nodes themselves.
