Introduction

This repository contains a set of scripts written in Bash and Python to assist with the administration of OpenStack environments. The scripts are aimed at automating repetitive tasks and facilitating faster management of OpenStack instances, security groups, and ports.

Requirements

Before using the scripts, ensure the following:

• An OpenStack environment is set up and configured.
• The OpenStack RC file (credentials) is sourced.
• You have necessary privileges to manage instances, security groups, and ports in the OpenStack environment.

Scripts

Bash Scripts

1. disableportsec.sh
   Disables port security on specified ports in OpenStack.

   Usage:
   bash disableportsec.sh <port-id>

2. startandstop_host_instances.sh
   Starts and stops instances running on a specific host in OpenStack.

   Usage:
   bash startandstop_host_instances.sh <host-name> <start/stop>

3. transformsecgroup.sh
   Transforms security groups for specified instances to ensure appropriate security settings.

   Usage:
   bash transformsecgroup.sh <instance-id> <security-group-id>

4. unlock_unpause.sh
   Unlocks and unpauses a specified instance, resuming its operation.

   Usage:
   bash unlock_unpause.sh <instance-id>

Python Scripts

1. pauseanlock.py
   Pauses and locks a specified instance in OpenStack.

   Usage:
   python pauseanlock.py <instance-id>

2. unpauseunlock.py
   Unpauses and unlocks a specified instance to resume its normal state.

   Usage:
   python unpauseunlock.py <instance-id>

Usage

1. Set up OpenStack credentials
   Ensure that you source your OpenStack RC file before executing any scripts:

   source <your-openstack-rc-file>

2. Execute the desired script
   Choose the appropriate script based on the task you want to perform, and execute it with the necessary parameters.
