To provision new nodes using the Joyent Smart Data Center install the SDC command line tools. You will need nodejs and npm installed.
$ npm install -g smartdc
Then configure 3 environment variables to connect to your account. The
SDC_KEY_ID is the public fingerprint of your ssh public key.
$ export SDC_URL=https://us-sw-1.api.joyentcloud.com
$ export SDC_ACCOUNT=<ACCOUNT NAME>
$ export SDC_KEY_ID=6f:c4:53:a7:52:16:3f:bd:e7:eb:9b:e4:59:87:c4:63
Your public key will need to be added to your ssh agent. You can list them by using the following command:
$ ssh-add -l
2048 6f:c4:53:a7:52:16:3f:bd:e7:eb:9b:e4:59:87:c4:63 /Users/mo/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
Now you should be able to connect to the SDC api via the command line tools. To create a new machine
you will need to specify the image, network and package to use.
The image specifies the type of operating system. The network specifies
the configuration for the network to use, and the packages specifies how
many processors and memory your new machine should have.
You can list out the different images, networks, and packages by using the following commands.
$ sdc-listimages
$ sdc-networks
$ sdc-packages
Records the id of the image network and package you wish to use. Then you can create and provision a new machine using the createmachine command.
$ sdc-createmachine -n mo-development \
--image 1eadbc8a-cd49-11e3-8331-d7e9df15d645 \
--package 5d367f42-867b-4cc3-883c-b329cbaad9d4 \
--network bd88a427-7ebd-403e-90e5-9b4834ed1d51
This will start to provision a new machine. It will take a bit of time to get this machine running. You can monitor the progress by getting the state of the new machine.
$ sdc-listmachines
$ sdc-getmachine <MACHINE-ID> | grep state
Once the machine is running, you should be able to ssh in to the new
machine. The public keys specified in your account should be added to
the authorized_keys file so you should have no problem.
