Class BuildSpec

java.lang.Object
  com.novell.zos.jdl.BuildSpec

public class BuildSpec
extends java.lang.Object

Defines the attributes for building a new VM. An instance of this class is passed to resource.build().

Example of using BuildSpec for creating a new VM:

      vm = getMatrix().createResource("newvm",ResourceInfo.TYPE_VM_INSTANCE,True)
      vm.setFact("resource.provisioner.job", "xen30" )
      vm.setFact("resource.vm.cpu.architecture","x86_64")
      vm.setFact("resource.vm.hvm",False)
      vm.setFact("resource.vm.vdisksize",8192)
      vm.setFact("resource.vm.memory",1024)
      vm.setFact("resource.os.family","linux")
      spec = BuildSpec()
      spec.setConfig( { "response" : responseFileText } )
      vm.build(spec)
 

Where 'spec' is the required key and value pairs for the dictionary passed to the provisioning adapter and used to create the VM. It is saved on the VM under the resource.vm.spec fact. Setting this fact directly is an alternative to supplying the configuation in the BuildSpec but the BuildSpec will override the fact contents.

E.g.

      "response"  :   text for VM builder tool
