SoftLayer provisioning options?

[timspencer]

Hello!

I’ve got fog and https://github.com/softlayer/fog-softlayer installed, and it looks like it understands the softlayer fog provider (given the source files the traceback is going through), but it keeps giving me this error whenever I specify a machine, no matter what I put in:

[2014-05-19T14:11:21-07:00] ERROR: machine_batch[default] (mytest::smalltest_cluster line 126) had an error: ArgumentError: name, domain, cpu and ram are required for this operation

It looks like I need to specify sizing (memory/cpu/etc) options somehow there, but I actually can’t see any examples of that happening in myapp or anywhere. How does one configure that stuff with chef-metal? It looks like with_provisioner_options is the right way to do that, but I must be missing something, because nothing I do is making this work. :-)

If it helps, here’s what I am doing:

 : tspencer-work.local $; cat softlayer_provider.rb 
#
# This sets up the softlayer provider
#
require 'fog/softlayer'
require 'chef_metal_fog'

with_fog_provisioner :provider => 'SoftLayer',
    :softlayer_username => ENV['SOFTLAYER_USERNAME'],
    :softlayer_api_key => ENV['SOFTLAYER_API_KEY']

with_provisioner_options :name => 'tspencer-chefmetal-footest',
    :domain => 'foo.com',
    :cpu => 2,
    :ram => 2048,
    :hourlyBillingFlag => false,
    :localDiskFlag => true,
    :os_code => 'CENTOS_6_64'

 : tspencer-work.local $; 

Seems like I shouldn’t have to specify name, because the machine resource should set that for me, but I just threw that in there just to try it out. I've also tried changing the cpu/ram/etc stuff to match other keywords in fog-softlayer, but I keep getting the same error.

Anyways, let me know what I can do to try to figure this out. Thanks again, and have fun!

I got a similar error with openstack and fog actually. @jkeiser and I debugged a similar problem over here: #52. The fix to that is in the master branch of chef-metal-fog but I don't think it's been released yet. I'd say give that a shot.

Oh, upgrading to the newest chef-metal-fog did it! It stopped complaining about name, and I just discovered base_bootstrap_options, which looks like it is fixing my other cpu/memory config issues. Thanks for the pointer!
