Add A Blade To A Cabinet In SLS Using CANI

  1. (ncn#|external#) Begin by initializing a session, which will import data from SLS and create metadata in SLS’ ExtraProperties field allowing the process to continue.

    cani alpha session init csm \
  --csm-keycloak-username username \
  --csm-keycloak-password password \
  --csm-api-host api-gw-service-nmn.local # initialize a session by importing SLS data to cani

    Note: SLS data may be unstable if cani has never been run against it, in which case cani will not continue. Resolve any of the data integrity errors before running the above command again. Known issues and solutions can be found here.

  2. (ncn#|external#) View available blade types and add one using suggested values.

    cani alpha add blade -L # see supported blade types
cani alpha add blade <blade type> --auto # add a blade using recommended values

  3. (ncn#|external#) Apply the changes, writing the new data directly to SLS.

    cani alpha session apply # push changes to SLS
