Commandline interface
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 4:44 pm
Hi Guys,
I've been wondering, if there is (a plan to introduce) a commandline interface for management of ramdrives. (This is key feauture in enterprise environments. I cannot imaging the manual rollout to 300 servers
... for example... )
The functioning of CLI should have following funcionalities:
- Create disk: Size, ImgFilePath, SaveImgOnShutdown, CompressIMGFile, Autosave, Volatile, Disk ID (not sure, if it is possible to have user defined ID, but for future work with scripts, it would be extremely helpful to have it.)
- Delete disk: Disk ID, force (= force unmount + even if partitions exist), DestroyImgFile (So orphan IMGFiles will not be around )
- Modify disk settings (similar to create disk)
- Query (Displays all VSuite disks)
- Save disk (Disk image should be exportable)
- Load disk (...and importable. So if you create it on one computer, you can reuse it elsewhere.)
There are some functionalities, that are optional as there are other (and maybe more suitable) tools for this:
- create partition
- delete partition
- assign letter/mountpoint:
- format: Filesystem, NTFS compression, temp folder
- etc.
It should be returning errolevel
