Script for creating nodes in OMW

Copy and paste the script below as createNodes.vbs

If Wscript.Arguments.Count < 1 Then
    'Check that you spacified the nodes filename
    wscript.echo  "Usage cscript createNodes.vbs ""filename"" "
    wscript.echo  "Ex:"
    wscript.echo  "cscript createNodes.vbs ""c:\nodelist.txt"""
Else
Set args = WScript.Arguments
arg1 = WScript.Arguments.Item(0) 

Set CSVoFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
nodesFile = arg1
    Set file = CSVoFS.GetFile(nodesFile)
    Set line = file.OpenAsTextStream(1,TristateUseDefault)
Do While line.AtEndOfStream <> True
    myLine = Split(line.ReadLine,",")
    nodeName= myLine(0)
    call createNode()
Loop

End if

Function createNode()
    Command = """D:\Program Files\HP\HP BTO Software\bin\ovownodeutil.cmd"" -add_nodewithtype -node_name " & nodename & " -ostype ""AIX"" -osversion ""5L 5.3"" -systemtype ""Power PC Family"" -osbits ""32"" -agent_bin_format ""PowerPC"" "
    Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Set oExec    = WshShell.Exec(Command)
        Wscript.Echo "The output of the command: " & Command
    Do While Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
        commandoutput = oExec.StdOut.ReadLine()
        Wscript.Echo commandOutput
    Loop
End Function

Create a text file for example nodes.txt

node1.mahmoudthoughts.com
node2.mahmoudthoughts.com
node3.mahmoudthoughts.com

To ensure the script will work in your OMW version, change the path for ovownodeutil.cmd  located on line 22

The sample script is for creating AIX nodes only

To create any nodes open the Node Properties for a node with the same version and get the values located in the system tab and modify line 22 as per the red marks.

Run

cscript createNodes.vbs nodes.txt
