There is a missing module in ixia_chassis_shell.zip
I am trying to write an auto-load for one our devices(IFSS). I was looking at the ixia_chassis_shell on quali forum (http://community.quali.com/repos/1819/ixia-chasisis-shell.html) as an example, but I am not able to find ”Ixia” module in ixia_handler.py file (highlighted below):
from ixia.pyixia import Ixia
Could you please take a look at it and find me this module?
Hi @gjavadi
Did you check the requirements.txt file of that project?
You'll need to install these in your environment if you want to get the code, or at least look at it on github.
In this case, the ixia.pyixia is coming from a module by ixia, probably from one of these:
ixnooapi==1.0.0rc1
ixeooapi==0.6.2
Also, make sure you go over the auto-load section in the devguide (use the 7.1 version if you're developing a 1st gen shell).

Hi @Yaniv.K
As you figured out I am trying to write an auto-load for one of our devices. I was keep getting 'null' error from auto-load. I commeneted out all of my code and i just put below code in my get_inventory :
sub_resources = [AutoLoadResource(model='', name='', relative_address='')]
attributes = [
AutoLoadAttribute('', 'Status', '2'),
AutoLoadAttribute('', 'External IP Address', '1.1.1.1'),
AutoLoadAttribute('', 'Internal IP Address', '2.2.2.2')
]
return AutoLoadDetails(sub_resources, attributes)
But it gave me below error:
'The operation completed with the following errors: * Resource 'ifsatsim_test' synchronization failed due to a driver error: 'get_inventory' command failed with 'TypeError' error. Description: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'relative_address''.
What usually is best way to debug the auto-load? and if you don't mind I have few more questions that if you have time we can have a quick session tomorrow to show you what I did?
It might be that the package you're using doesn't have the init function that has inputs.
If so, having AutoLoadResource(model='xx', name='yy', relative_address='1') will not work.
And you'll have to do something like:
sub = AutoLoadResource()
sub.model = 'xx'
sub.name = 'yy'
sub.relative_address = '1'
Same for the AutoLoadAttribute.

Is it ok to have a ssh in get_inventory? I have to ssh to device and grab the info and then pass those to autoload functions?
Hi Yaniv,
Based on our discussion I am trying to do the auto-load for our ifss. When I ran the auto-load I got below error:
The operation completed with the following errors:
* Resource 'IFSS' synchronization failed due to a driver error:
Relative address '1' already exists at index='2', Model='Generic IFSS Module', Name='satsim 2', Unique Identifier=''. Relative address '1' already exists at index='3', Model='Generic IFSS Module', Name='satsim 3', Unique Identifier=''. Relative address '1' already exists at index='4', Model='Generic IFSS Module', Name='satsim 4', Unique Identifier=''. Relative address '1' already exists at index='5', Model='Generic IFSS Module', Name='satsim 5', Unique Identifier=''.
And here is my code:
while i < len(ifsatsim):
self._log(context,'i am in last loop')
sub_resources = AutoLoadResource()
sub_resources.model= 'Generic IFSS Module'
sub_resources.name= ifsatsim[i]
self._log(context,ifsatsim[i])
sub_resources.relative_address='1'
sub.append(sub_resources)
i += 1
attr = []
ald = AutoLoadDetails()
ald.resources = sub
ald.attributes = attr
self._log(context,'alddddddddddddd')
self._log(context,ald)
return ald
Do I need to change the relative address? I want them as sibling not sub-resource of each other.
Thank you,
Golriz
Hi @gjavadi,
Yes, the relative address is used to create the hierarchy, so it can't be the same for all sub-resources. If all your ports will just have a sequential number, they will still be siblings. To make a hierarchy you have to provide a relative address like this: 1/2
which will add the port with address 2 under a chassis/blade that is at address 1.
