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.
