-=head1 NAME
-
-xCAT::NameRange - Perl module for xCAT namerange expansion
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-	use xCAT::NameRange;
-	my @nodes=namerange("storage@rack1,node[1-200],^/tmp/nodelist,node300-node400,node401+10,500-550");
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-namerange interprets xCAT noderange formatted strings and returns a list of 
-names. The following two operations are supported on elements, and interpreted 
-left to right:
-
-  , union next element with everything to the left.
-
-  @ take intersection of element to the right with everything on the left 
-   (i.e. mask out anything to the left not belonging to what is described to 
-   the right)
-
-Each element can be a number of things:
-
-  A node name, i.e.:
-
-=item * node1
-
-A hyphenated node range (only one group of numbers may differ between the left and right hand side, and those numbers will increment in a base 10 fashion):
-
-node1-node200 node1-compute-node200-compute
-node1:node200 node1-compute:node200-compute
-
-A namerange denoted by brackets:
-
-node[1-200] node[001-200]
-
-A regular expression describing the namerange:
-
-/d(1.?.?|200)
-
-A node plus offset (this increments the first number found in nodename):
-
-node1+199
-
-And most of the above substituting groupnames.
-3C
-3C
-
-NameRange tries to be intelligent about detecting padding, so you can:
-node001-node200
-And it will increment according to the pattern.

+=head1 NAME
+
+B<opsaddbmnode> - It adds xCAT baremetal nodes to an OpenStack cloud.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<opsaddbmnode> I<noderange> B<-s> I<service_host>
+
+B<opsaddbmnode> [B<-h>|B<--help>]
+
+B<opsaddbmnode> [B<-v>|B<--version>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<opsaddbmnode> command registers xCAT nodes to an OpenStack cloud. An OpenStack nova baremetal node registration command takes several node attributes:
+
+=over
+
+=item BMC ip addresss, user id and password
+
+=item Name of nova compute host which will control this baremetal node
+
+=item Number of CPUs in the node
+
+=item Memory in the node (MB)
+
+=item Local hard disk in the node (GB)
+
+=item MAC address to provision the node
+
+=back
+
+The opsaddbmnode command pulls the above baremetal node information from xCAT tables and calls "nova baremetal-node-create" to register the baremetal node with the OpenStack cloud.
+
+Please make sure the following xCAT tables are filled with correct information for the given nodes before calling this command.
+
+=over
+
+=item ipmi (for BMC ip addresss, user id and password)
+
+=item mac (for MAC address)
+
+=item hwinv (for CPU, memory and disk info.)
+

+=head1 NAME
+
+B<opsaddimage> - It adds or removes nodes for the vlan.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS

+B<opsaddimage> I<image1,image2,...> B<-n> I<new_name1,new_name2,...> [B<-c> I<controller>]  
+
+B<opsaddimage> [B<-h>|B<--help>]
+
+B<opsaddimage> [B<-v>|B<--version>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<opsaddimage> command adds a list of xCAT images into the OpenStack cloud. 
+
+Under the cover, it creates a fake image and registers the fake image into OpenStack with command B<glance image-create>. It sets the property in the image to indicate that this is an xCAT image and also stores the original xCAT image name in the property for further reference. 
+
+The xCAT image names can be listed using B<lsdef -t osimage> command.      
+
+=head1 Parameters
+
+I<image1,image1...> a comma separated xCAT images names. 
+
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 10
+
+=item B<-n>    a comma separated new image names in the OpenStack. If omitted, the default is the original xCAT image nanme.  
+
+=item B<-c>  the node name of the OpenStack controller. This node must be an xCAT managed node.
+
+=item B<-h|--help>     Display usage message.
+
+=item B<-v|--version>  The Command Version.

+
+Extreme Cluster Administration Toolkit (xCAT). xCAT is a scalable distributed computing management
+and provisioning tool that provides a unified interface for hardware control, discovery, and
+OS diskful/diskfree deployment.
+
+
+=head1 XCAT DATABASE
+
+All of the cluster configuration information is in the xCAT database.  See L<xcatdb(5)|xcatdb.5> for
+descriptions of every table in the database.
+
+=head1 XCAT COMMANDS
+
+What follows is a short description of each xCAT command.  To get more information about a particular
+command, see its man page.  Note that the commands are listed in alphabetical order B<within each section>,
+i.e. all the commands in section 1, then the commands in section 3, etc.

+
+<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>a)

+
+<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Commercial distributors of software may
+accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners
+and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use
+of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial
+product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential
+liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the
+Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor (&quot;Commercial
+Contributor&quot;) hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
+Contributor (&quot;Indemnified Contributor&quot;) against any losses, damages and
+costs (collectively &quot;Losses&quot;) arising from claims, lawsuits and other
+legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to
+the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
+connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
+offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
+relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
+to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
+Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor
+to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and
+any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate
+in any such claim at its own expense.</span> </p>
+
+<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>For example, a Contributor might include the
+Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a
+Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
+claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and
+warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this
+section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
+other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a
+court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the
+Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.</span> </p>

+Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,

+OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
+NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF

+
+<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>If any provision of this Agreement is invalid

+against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
+alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with

+Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date
+such litigation is filed. </span></p>

+rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and
+distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However,
+Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by
+Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive. </span></p>

+copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement
+Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of
+this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has
+the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial
+Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to
+serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version
+of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program
+(including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of
+the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of
+the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program
+(including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated
+in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to
+the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether
+expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not
+expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.</span> </p>
+
+<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>This Agreement is governed by the laws of the
+State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of

+=head1 NAME
+
+An overview of the xCAT OpenStack database objects and tables.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The xCAT OpenStack database objects and tables contain user settings for the OpenStack cloud being set up by xCAT.
+To get more information about a particular table, run man for that table name.
+The tables and objects can be viewed using B<tabdump>, B<nodels>, or B<lsdef>.
+The tables and objects can be manipulated directly using B<tabedit>, B<nodech>, or B<chdef>.
+For more information about the xCAT database and the base tables and objects, see the L<xcatdb(5)|xcatdb.5> man page.
+
+=head1 XCAT OPENSTACK OBJECT DEFINITIONS
+
+Because it can get confusing what attributes need to go in what tables, the xCAT database can also
+be viewed and edited as logical objects, instead of flat tables.  Use B<mkdef>, B<chdef>, B<lsdef>,
+and B<rmdef> to create, change, list, and delete objects.
+When using these commands, the object attributes will be stored in the same tables, as if you edited
+the tables by hand.  The only difference is that the object commands take care of knowing which tables
+all of the information should go in.
+
+To run man for any of the object definitions below, use section 7.  For example:  B<man 7 node>
+
+The object types are:
+
+=over 2
+EOS1
+
+foreach my $def (sort keys %$defdescriptions) {
+	if ($def eq 'node') { print FILE "\n=item L<$def(7)|node-openstack.7>\n"; }		# can not overwrite the node man page in xcat-core
+	else { print FILE "\n=item L<$def(7)|$def.7>\n"; }
+}
+
+	print FILE <<"EOS2";
+
+=back
+
+=head1 TABLES
+
+To manipulate the tables directly, use B<nodels(1)>, B<chtab(8)>, B<tabdump(8)>, B<tabedit(8)>,
+B<nodeadd(8)>, B<nodech(1)>.
+
+To run man for any of the table descriptions below, use section 5.  For example:  B<man 5 nodehm>
+
+The tables are:
+
+=over 2
+EOS2
+
+foreach my $table (sort keys %$descriptions) {
+	print FILE "\n=item L<$table(5)|$table.5>\n\n".$descriptions->{$table}."\n";

+Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
+
+THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
+
+1. DEFINITIONS
+
+"Contribution" means:
+
+a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
+b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
+
+i) changes to the Program, and
+
+ii) additions to the Program;
+
+where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
+
+"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
+
+"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
+
+"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
+
+"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.
+
+2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
+
+a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
+
+b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
+
+c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
+
+d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
+
+3. REQUIREMENTS
+
+A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:
+
+a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
+
+b) its license agreement:
+
+i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
+
+ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
+
+iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
+
+iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
+
+When the Program is made available in source code form:
+
+a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
+
+b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
+
+Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
+
+Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
+
+4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
+
+Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
+
+For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
+
+5. NO WARRANTY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
+
+6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+
+EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7. GENERAL
+
+If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
+
+If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
+
+This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
