# SPDK CLI {#spdkcli}
|
|
|
|
Spdkcli is a command-line management application for SPDK.
|
|
Spdkcli has support for a limited number of applications and bdev modules,
|
|
and should be considered experimental for the v18.04 release.
|
|
This experimental version was added for v18.04 to get early feedback
|
|
that can be incorporated as spdkcli becomes more fully-featured
|
|
for the next SPDK release.
|
|
|
|
### Install needed dependencies
|
|
|
|
All dependencies should be handled by scripts/pkgdep.sh script.
|
|
Package dependencies at the moment include:
|
|
- configshell
|
|
|
|
### Run SPDK application instance
|
|
|
|
~~~{.sh}
|
|
./scripts/setup.sh
|
|
./app/vhost/vhost -c vhost.conf
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
### Run SPDK CLI
|
|
|
|
Spdkcli should be run with the same priviliges as SPDK application.
|
|
In order to use SPDK CLI in interactive mode please use:
|
|
~~~{.sh}
|
|
scripts/spdkcli.py
|
|
~~~
|
|
Use "help" command to get a list of available commands for each tree node.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to use SPDK CLI to run just a single command,
|
|
just use the command as an argument to the application.
|
|
For example, to view current configuration and immediately exit:
|
|
~~~{.sh}
|
|
scripts/spdkcli.py ls
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
### Optional - create Python virtual environment
|
|
|
|
You can use Python virtual environment if you don't want to litter your
|
|
system Python installation.
|
|
|
|
First create the virtual environment:
|
|
~~~{.sh}
|
|
cd spdk
|
|
mkdir venv
|
|
virtualenv-3 ./venv
|
|
source ./venv/bin/activate
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Then install the dependencies using pip. That way depedencies will be
|
|
installed only inside the virtual environment.
|
|
~~~{.sh}
|
|
(venv) pip install configshell-fb
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Tip: if you are using "sudo" instead of root account, it is suggested to do
|
|
"sudo -s" before activating the environment. This is because venv might not work
|
|
correctly when calling spdkcli with sudo, like "sudo python spdkcli.py" -
|
|
some environment variables might not be passed and you will experience errors.
