| |
| | |
| occi --endpoint ''site_occi_endpoint'' --action list --resource resource_tpl --auth x509 -X -x ''proxy_certificate''
| |
| | |
| where ''site_occi_endpoint'' is the site OCCI endpoint and ''proxy_certificate'' is the path to your VOMS proxy certificate (obtained via the voms-proxy-init commands, see [[Fedcloud-tf:CLI Environment#Create_a_proxy_certificate|here]])

| occi --endpoint ''site_occi_endpoint'' --action list --resource os_tpl --auth x509 -X -x ''proxy_certificate''
| |
| | |
| where ''site_occi_endpoint'' is the site OCCI endpoint and ''proxy_certificate'' is the path to your VOMS proxy certificate (obtained via the voms-proxy-init commands, see [[Fedcloud-tf:CLI Environment#Create_a_proxy_certificate|here]])

| |
| | |
| where ''site_occi_endpoint'' is the site OCCI endpoint, ''proxy_certificate'' is the path to your VOMS proxy certificate (obtained via the voms-proxy-init commands, see [[Fedcloud-tf:CLI Environment#Create_a_proxy_certificate|here]]), ''os_template'' is your VM OS image disk (e.x. os_tpl#debian6) and ''resource_template'' is your resource template (ex. resource_tpl#small).
