If you use a new version of ibcli against an old version of NIOS, some commands just won't do anything ( type 'set debug 1' to see the failures )<br /><br />And, as usual, if you find a bug, let me know.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7891198402270406473-3271559549430115351?l=ibcli.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G D Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05850931467414340322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891198402270406473.post-40997488629140221582009-09-24T13:05:00.000-07:002009-09-24T13:06:35.801-07:00New in version 3.44<br /><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/Home/ibcli?attredirects=0">Get the Code</a><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/Home/relnotes.txt?attredirects=0">Get the Release Notes</a><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/user-guide">Get the User Guide</a><br /><br />More support for permissions<br />Network Views<br />and other stuff<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7891198402270406473-4099748862914022158?l=ibcli.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G D Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05850931467414340322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891198402270406473.post-45658986745629047372009-07-27T10:36:00.000-07:002009-07-27T10:43:07.602-07:00New in version 3.43<br /><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/Home/ibcli?attredirects=0">Get the Code</a><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/Home/relnotes.txt?attredirects=0">Get the Release Notes</a><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/user-guide">Get the User Guide</a><br /><br />You can modify views and fixed addreses<br />Provisional support for roaming hosts<br />Showing and adding extensible attributes<br />Showing and adding permissions to objects<br /><br />I still haven't coded the 'update' feature yet, but no-one has been screaming for it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7891198402270406473-4565898674562904737?l=ibcli.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G D Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05850931467414340322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891198402270406473.post-16004086645965042042009-03-09T08:44:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:51:47.300-07:00For the next release I'm working on 2 new features. One is adding Extensible attributes to networks and other 'non-host' objects. The second one is more tricky, it has to do with modifying hosts. The command(s) I'm proposing are something like :<br /><br /><pre><br /> conf zone insert host ...<br /> conf zone update host ...<br /></pre><br /><br />If you go to modify a host and it isn't already there, you will get an 'object not found' error. This happens a lot if you are going back later and trying to import a pile of IPAM data on top of a pile of DNS data (it is never a 1-1 match).<br /><br />So you have to do 2 passes :<br /><ul><li>Modify the existing hosts</li><li>Walk the error log and add hosts that didn't exist.<br /></li></ul><br /><br />So I'm proposing a comand that will first try to MODIFY the host, and if there is an error, then try to ADD the host.<br /><br />But, and here is the problem. Which is more efficient ? MODIFY then ADD, or ADD then MODIFY (or do we need both)<br /><br />What are your thoughts ?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7891198402270406473-1600408664596504204?l=ibcli.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G D Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05850931467414340322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891198402270406473.post-89128009383989210202009-01-19T12:29:00.000-08:002009-01-19T12:43:50.281-08:00<a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/Home/ibcli?attredirects=0">Get the Code</a><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/Home/relnotes.txt?attredirects=0">Get the Release Notes</a><br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/site/ibclidev/user-guide">Get the User Guide</a><br /><br />New in Version 3.40 :<br /><br />Changes to TAB completion and other commands<br />Extended attributes<br />Support for more zone types<br />A Records and others can now be added to different views<br />Networks can now be added WITHOUT a default member<br />Move Networks to different members<br />Configure Member DNS settings<br />Configure Member DHCP settings<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7891198402270406473-8912800938398921020?l=ibcli.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>G D Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05850931467414340322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891198402270406473.post-67577103180917322152009-01-19T12:21:00.000-08:002009-01-19T12:22:53.986-08:00I moved the website to blogger to get RSS feeds and announcements.
