The options and arguments to the rc_cli command may be displayed by invoking it with –help:

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
$ ./rc_cli --help
usage: rc_cli [-h] [-H HOST] [-u USER] [-p PASSWORD] [-s SORT] [-F] [-Y]
              obj op [args [args ...]]

Perform API calls against a Regional Controller.

positional arguments:
  obj          The object to manipulate
  op           The operation to perform on the object
  args         Extra arguments for the operation

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -H HOST      the host of the regional controller (default localhost)
  -u USER      the username to use (default admin)
  -p PASSWORD  the password to use
  -s SORT      the field to sort list views by
  -F           forcibly delete a POD (use with "pod delete")
  -Y           display YAML columns in the output of list commands

...

The create operation takes as arguments the names of one or more YAML files containing the objects to be created. For successfully created objects, it will print the URL of the newly created object, which contains the object’s UUID. The YAML files provided must contain only YAML descriptions of the appropriate type specified on the command line. The format of these YAML objects can be determined by referencing Regional Controller API Documentation.

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
$ ./rc_cli -u admin -p admin123 hardware create hardware.yaml
https://localhost/api/v1/hardware/36a72db1-f2d9-424b-b94e-b72ca7a50cfe

...

show takes as arguments a list of UUIDs of the objects to show the details of.

The options and arguments to the rc_loaddata command may be displayed by invoking it with –help:

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
$ ./rc_loaddata --help
usage: rc_loaddata [-h] [-H HOST] [-u USER] [-p PASSWORD]
                   [-s {hardware,regions,nodes,edgesites,blueprints,pods}]
                   [-A] [-D] [-M]
                   YAML [YAML ...]

Add/delete objects from a Regional Controller. The objects are retrieved from
one or more YAML files.

positional arguments:
  YAML                  YAML files containing RC objects to be
                        added/deleted/matched

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -H HOST               the host of the regional controller (default
                        localhost)
  -u USER               the username to use (default admin)
  -p PASSWORD           the password to use
  -s {hardware,regions,nodes,edgesites,blueprints,pods}
                        only process the named section of the YAMLs (default
                        all)
  -A                    add new entries in YAMLs to the RC
  -D                    delete entries in YAMLs from the RC
  -M                    match entries in YAMLs to the RC

The purpose of rc_loaddata is to perform operations on large number of RC objects at once. The operation to perform is specified by the -A/-D/-M options, only one of which may be provided.

...

The YAML files themselves consists of stanzas for any of the six sections needed, followed by named objects describing the objects of each type to be added/deleted/matched. For example:
