21.5. Using OpenLMI Scripts
The LMIShell interpreter is built on top of Python modules that can be used to develop custom management tools. The OpenLMI Scripts project provides a number of Python libraries for interfacing with OpenLMI providers. In addition, it is distributed with
lmi, an extensible utility that can be used to interact with these libraries from the command line.
To install OpenLMI Scripts on your system, type the following at a shell prompt:
easy_install --user openlmi-scripts
This command installs the Python modules and the
lmi utility in the ~/.local/ directory. To extend the functionality of the lmi utility, install additional OpenLMI modules by using the following command:
easy_install --user package_name
For a complete list of available modules, see the Python website. For more information about OpenLMI Scripts, see the official OpenLMI Scripts documentation.
