NAME
onetemplate - manages OpenNebula templates
SYNOPSIS
onetemplate command [args] [options]
OPTIONS
--adjust x,y,z Adjust size to not truncate selected columns
--admin lock admin actions
--all lock all actions
-a, --append Append new attributes to the current template
--arch arch Architecture of the VM, e.g.: i386 or x86_64
--as_gid gid The Group ID to instantiate the VM
--as_uid uid The User ID to instantiate the VM
--boot device_list Set boot device list e.g. disk0,disk2,nic0
--context line1,line2,line3 Lines to add to the context section
--cpu cpu CPU percentage reserved for the VM (1=100% one
CPU)
--csv Write table in csv format
--csv-del del Set delimiter for csv output
-d, --delay x Sets the delay in seconds for top command
--describe Describe list columns
--disk image0,image1 Disks to attach. To use an image owned by other
user use user[disk]. Add any additional
attributes separated by ´:´ and in the shape of
KEY=VALUE. For example, if the disk must be
resized, use image0:size=1000 . Or
image0:size=1000:target=vda,image1:target=vdb
--dry Just print the template
--endpoint endpoint URL of OpenNebula xmlrpc frontend
--expand [x=prop,y=prop] Expands the columns size to fill the terminal.
For example: $onevm list --expand
name=0.4,group=0.6 will expand name 40% and
group 60%. $onevm list --expand name,group will
expand name and group based on its size.$onevm
list --expand will expand all columns.
--extended Process the template and included extended
information, such as the SIZE for each DISK
--files_ds file1,file2 Add files to the contextualization CD from
thefiles datastore
-f, --filter x,y,z Filter data. An array is specified with
column=value pairs. Valid operators
=,!=,<,<=,>,>=,~ e.g. NAME=test (match name with
test) NAME~test (match test, te, tes..)
-h, --help Show this message
--hold Creates the new VM on hold state instead of
pending
--init script1,script2 Script or scripts to start in context
-j, --json Show the resource in JSON format
-l, --list x,y,z Selects columns to display with list command
-c, --listconf conf Selects a predefined column list
--manage lock manage actions
--memory memory Memory amount given to the VM. By default the
unit is megabytes. To use gigabytes add a ´g´,
floats can be used: 8g=8192, 0.5g=512
-m, --multiple x Instance multiple VMs
--name name Name of the new VM or TEMPLATE. When
instantiating multiple VMs you can use the "%i"
wildcard to produce different names such as
vm-0, vm-1...
--net_context Add network contextualization parameters
--nic network0,network1 Networks to attach. To use a network owned by
other user use user[network]. Additional
attributes are supported like with the --disk
option. Also you can use auto if you want that
OpenNebula select automatically the network
--no-expand Disable expand
--no-header Hides the header of the table
--no-pager Disable pagination
-n, --numeric Do not translate user and group IDs
--operator operator Logical operator used on filters: AND, OR.
Default: AND.
--password password Password to authenticate with OpenNebula
--persistent Creates a private persistent copy of the template
plus any image defined in DISK, and instantiates
that copy
--raw string Raw string to add to the template. Not to be
confused with the RAW attribute
--recursive Applies the action to the template plus any image
defined in DISK
--report_ready Sends READY=YES to OneGate, useful for OneFlow
-s, --size x=size,y=size Change the size of selected columns. For example:
$ onevm list --size "name=20" will make column
name size 20.
--spice Add spice server to the VM
--spice-keymap keymap spice keyboard layout
--spice-listen ip spice IP where to listen for connections. By
default is 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces).
--spice-password password spice password
--ssh [file] Add an ssh public key to the context. If the file
is omited then the user variable SSH_PUBLIC_KEY
will be used.
--startscript [file] Start script to be executed
--use lock use actions
--user name User name used to connect to OpenNebula
--user-inputs ui1,ui2,ui3 Specify the user inputs values when instantiating
--userdata userdata Integrate userdata into the EC2 section
--vcenter_vm_folder path In a vCenter environment sets the the VMs and
Template folder where the VM will be placed in.
The path uses slashes to separate folders. For
example: --vcenter_vm_folder "/Management/VMs"
--vcpu vcpu Number of virtualized CPUs
-v, --verbose Verbose mode
-V, --version Show version and copyright information
--vnc Add VNC server to the VM
--vnc-keymap keymap VNC keyboard layout
--vnc-listen ip VNC IP where to listen for connections. By
default is 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces).
--vnc-password password VNC password
-x, --xml Show the resource in xml format
-y, --yaml Show the resource in YAML format
