Problem with id-allocator package (1.4.0)

[previousqna]

Hi,

Has anyone used the id-allocator package that is found on stash ? v1.4.0 ?

I am trying to create a simple pool and and it fails:

admin@ncs(config)# resource-pools id-pool test range start 9 end 10

admin@ncs(config-id-pool-test)# top

admin@ncs(config)# commit

Commit complete.

admin@ncs(config)#

admin@ncs# show running-config resource-pools

resource-pools id-pool test

range start 9

range end 10

!

admin@ncs#

Everything seems to be fine but the ncs-java-vm.log throws an error:

<ERROR> 25-Feb-2017::01:38:04.545 RangeSet (id-allocator:Reactive fastmap id allocation)-Run-0: - Failed to setup RangeSet

All packages (nso-util, resource-manager and id-allocator) are the latest version from stash (cloned):

git clone https://stash.tail-f.com/scm/pkg/resource-manager.git

git clone https://stash.tail-f.com/scm/pkg/nso-util.git

git clone https://stash.tail-f.com/scm/pkg/id-allocator.git

The installation is fresh 4.3.1 installation.

Any ideas ? Should I not be using those ? the package posted on developer.cisco.com is not the latest and is from July 2016.

Please use the resource-manager package instead. Version 2.1.1 was released this Friday.

I figured out yesterday that the resource-manager package now includes the id-allocator.py and ipaddress_allocator.py.

I think documentation in the README.md should include this details, explaining how to use it and everything, I would gladly write something and submit a Pull Request but I was not able to figure out how to get an account on Atlassian Bitbucket.

There is also a typo () in the example that can be found in both id_allocator.py and ipaddress_allocator.py:

(default-py2) [lurueda resource_manager:develop±]$ diff ipaddress_allocator.py.bak ipaddress_allocator.py

21c21

<     import reource_manager.ipaddress_allocator as ip_allocator

---

>     import resource_manager.ipaddress_allocator as ip_allocator

(default-py2) [lurueda resource_manager:develop±]$ diff id_allocator.py.bak id_allocator.py

14c14

<     import reource_manager.id_allocator as id_allocator

---

>     import resource_manager.id_allocator as id_allocator

And there is something else, which I do not know if should also be part of the instructions. I had to add the resource-manager package as a pre-requisite in the package-meta-data.xml for the package I am using which is importing the resource_manager.id_allocator package

(default-py2) [lurueda l2vpn:master]$ grep -C1 resource-manager package-meta-data.xml

  <required-package>

    <name>resource-manager</name>

  </required-package>

Can you confirm this is required, I could not get it to work without it. I kept getting the following error:

2017-02-25 22:31:23 - l2vpn :: Traceback (most recent call last):

Great feedback! I’m adding a review of the README.md in our issue tracker, could you find the information you needed in the documentation?

You do need to have resource manager as a required package. I think it’s part of the python package documentation.

The README.md is kind of misleading because it does mention that is not a standalone package when in reality I think that this version is quite the opposite. It is a standalone package now in this version.

Resource manager is NOT a standalone package. You will need an 'implementation' package, e.g. id-allocator or ipaddress-allocator.

The easiest way is to download and use the 'Resource Manager Bundle' which you should find in the same place where you found this package.

The id-allocator and ipaddress-allocator should also be available at the same place.

The other thing is that we should have in the README.md an example of how to use resource allocation on a package the reader wants to build (examples for both Java and Python).
