Restarting the Management Server via Marvin

[Jeff Hair <je...@greenqloud.com>]

Hi,

is there any facility in Marvin for restarting the management server? I
need to write a test where I change a global setting and then see if
functionality has changed based on me changing the setting. As far as I
know, the only way to update the settings is to restart the management
server. I'd need to restart it and then wait for it to be ready, I guess.

You can use SSH client to get to management server and restart. Similar to this

  try:
            sshClient = SshClient(
                self.mgtSvrDetails["mgtSvrIp"],
                22,
                self.mgtSvrDetails["user"],
                self.mgtSvrDetails["passwd"],
                retries=1,
                log_lvl=logging.INFO
            )
            result = sshClient.runCommand("/etc/init.d/cloudstack-management restart")
            if 'status' in result and result['status'] == 'SUCCESS' and 'stdout' in result and len(result['stdout']) > 0:
                exec_stdout = result['stdout']
        except Exception:
            self.debug("Failed to ssh into mgmt server host and execute command")

Don’t forget to wait enough for management server to come online after the restart.

Thanks,
Sergey
