Blockbridge Shell scripts

These Shell scripts are provided as a refence to illustate automation of Storage operations directly with Blockbridge as well as with Proxmox VE.

Snapshot management: snap-mgmt.sh

Add snapshot to tagged Blockbridge virtual disks:

* "-h" IP or hostname of Blockbridge node

* "-t" parameter to specify a tag. All disks with this tag will be snapshotted.

To assign a tag to disk from CLI:`bb disk update -d [disk-label] --tag snapSchedule`

* "-d" Number of days to keep snapshots

* "-a" Authorization token

* "-p" Snapshot name Prefix

Example: snap-mgmt.sh -h bbhost -d 3 -a token -t snapSchedule

Quick Start

From your Blockbridge Controlplane shell create a new user in SYSTEM account which is only allowed to manage snapshots

bb auth login --user system
bb user create --name snapmgmt --grant vss.manage_snapshots

Create a persistent authorization token that inherits user rights (note the generated token, it cannot be re-displayed):

bb authorization create --user snapmgmt@system --scope 'v:o=all v:r=manage_snapshots'

Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) Snapshot management: pve-snapshot_control.sh

Add snapshot to tagged PVE virtual machines:

* -t <tag>        Tag used to identify VMs that need snapshots (required)

* -p <prefix>     Prefix to append to snapshot label (default 'auto')
      
* -c <count>      Number of snapshots to maintain (default 2, max 16)

* -d              Prune snapshots as specified by (-c). Does not create new snapshots.

Examples:

Example: pve-snapshot_control.sh -t autosnap -p autosnap -c 3

Take a snapshot of all PVE VMs that contain tag "autosnap". Keep at most 3 snapshots on each VM.
