There are two ways to modify administrator information:
Through the VSS-CLI commands
VSS Cloud Portal
Using VSS-CLI commands
For this example we will use the of test.user
To view a list of virtual machines with administrator information, enter the following command:
format:vss-cli --columns moref,name,folder.path,admin,inform compute vm ls -f admin=<EMAIL OR ID>
example:
vss-cli --columns moref,name,folder.path,admin,inform compute vm ls -f admin=test.user
output:
moref name folder.path admin inform --------- --------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- ------------------------ vm-552331 2206Z-BLA-Dev TEST > 123 > Services > Dev Test User 1:815-948-1399:test.user@utoronto.ca test.user.2@utoronto.ca vm-829984 2107Y-TEST123 TEST > 123 > Services > DEV Test User 1:815-948-1399:test.user@utoronto.ca test.user.2@utoronto.ca vm-449021 2206X-XYZ-Dev2 TEST > 123 > Services > Dev Test User 1:815-948-1399:test.user@utoronto.ca test.user.2@utoronto.ca
To update the contact information of the admin, provide the ID of the virtual machine you wish to edit. (moref column) vm-55231
format:vss-cli compute vm set <Virtual_Machine_ID> admin "<COMPLETE_NAME>" <EMAIL> <PHONE_NUMER:XXX-XXX-XXXX>
example:
vss-cli compute vm set vm-55231 admin "Test User X" test.user.5@utoronto.ca 419-341-2341
output:
id : 41063 status : SUBMITTED task_id : dfefdd03-d5c4-4b73-8030-193315f8be38 message : Request has been accepted for processing
Verify the changes have been successfully applied to the virtual machine.
format:vss-cli compute vm get <Virtual_Machine_ID> admin
example:
vss-cli compute vm get vm-55231 admin
output:
name : Test User X email : test.user.5@utoronto.ca phone : 419-341-2341
To update the email addresses of other virtual machines, simply repeat the steps outlined above for each machine that requires an update. This will ensure that all virtual machines have up-to-date contact information and are receiving important updates from the ITS Private Cloud Portal.
