API dynamic processing in HCI environment
An information handling system may include at least one processor; and a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor; wherein the information handling system is configured to manage an information handling system cluster by providing a command line interface between a user and a daemon service configured to execute user commands; wherein the command line interface implements a proxy subcommand that is configured to accept other commands; and wherein, when an other command is received, the daemon service is configured to parse the other command and dispatch the parsed other command to a particular backend service.
1. An information handling system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor;
wherein the information handling system is configured to manage an information handling system cluster by providing a command line interface between a user and a daemon service configured to execute user commands;
wherein the command line interface implements a proxy subcommand that is configured to accept other commands; and
wherein, when an other command is received, the daemon service is configured to parse the other command and dispatch the parsed other command to a particular backend service.
2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the command line interface is a portion of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) management system.
3. The information handling system of claim 2 , wherein the daemon service is a vmware-hostd service.
4. The information handling system of claim 3 , wherein the proxy subcommand is a plug-in of an esxcli command configured to interface with the vmware-hostd service.
5. The information handling system of claim 4 , wherein the proxy subcommand is configured to receive new other commands without a restart of the vmware- hostd service.
6. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the proxy subcommand is further configured to accept arguments for the other commands.
7. The information handling system of claim 6 , wherein, when arguments for an other command are received, the daemon service is configured to dispatch the arguments along with the parsed other command to the particular backend service.
8. A method comprising:
an information handling system providing a command line interface between a user and a daemon service configured to execute user commands, the command line interface for management of an information handling system cluster;
the command line interface providing a proxy subcommand that is configured to accept other commands; and
when an other command is received, the daemon service parsing the other command and dispatching the parsed other command to a particular backend service.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command line interface is a portion of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) management system.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the daemon service is a vmware-hostd service.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the proxy subcommand is a plug-in of an esxcli command configured to interface with the vmware-hostd service.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the proxy subcommand is configured to receive new other commands without a restart of the vmware-hostd service.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the proxy subcommand is further configured to accept arguments for the other commands.
14. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by a processor of an information handling system for:
providing a command line interface between a user and a daemon service configured to execute user commands, the command line interface for management of an information handling system cluster;
the command line interface providing a proxy subcommand that is configured to accept other commands; and
when an other command is received, the daemon service parsing the other command and dispatching the parsed other command to a particular backend service.
15. The article of claim 14 , wherein the command line interface is a portion of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) management system.
16. The article of claim 15 , wherein the daemon service is a vmware-hostd service.
17. The article of claim 16 , wherein the proxy subcommand is a plug-in of an esxcli command configured to interface with the vmware-hostd service.
18. The article of claim 17 , wherein the proxy subcommand is configured to receive new other commands without a restart of the vmware-hostd service.
19. The article of claim 14 , wherein the proxy subcommand is further configured to accept arguments for the other commands.
20. The article of claim 19 , wherein, when arguments for an other command are received, the daemon service is configured to dispatch the arguments along with the parsed other command to the particular backend service.
