Install & Usage Instructions

Usage

Installation

If you are running Chef-DK you can install it by running:

$ chef gem install knife-infoblox

Otherwise, this plugin is distributed as a Ruby Gem. To install it, run:

$ gem install knife-infoblox

Depending on your system's configuration, you may need to run this command with root privileges.

Configuration

In addition to the command-specific options, the plugin supports a common set
of options: [-h INFOBLOX_HOSTNAME][-u INFOBLOX_USERNAME][-p INFOBLOX_PASSWORD]

Most options can be passed to the knife subcommands explicitly but this
quickly becomes tiring, repetitive, and error-prone. A better solution is to
add some of the common configuration to your ~/.chef/knife.rb or your
projects .chef/knife.rb file like so:

knife[:infoblox_username] = 'joetester'
knife[:infoblox_password] = 'hootytooty'
knife[:infoblox_hostname] = 'ns.example.com'

Subcommands

The subcommands work the same way they work for knife bootstrap. Please see http://docs.opscode.com/chef/knife.html#bootstrap for more information on the subcommands.
