viocli inventory-admin Command

Orphaned objects are defined as follows:

Orphaned Nova instances are those for which a corresponding virtual machine does not exist in vSphere.
Orphaned virtual machines are those for which a corresponding instance does not exist in the OpenStack database.
Orphaned shadow virtual machines are those for which a corresponding Cinder volume does not exist in the OpenStack database.

The viocli inventory-admin command collects vCenter Server and OpenStack credentials from internal inventories. This command requires that you authenticate as an OpenStack administrator. The domain and user name of this account are set in /root/cloudadmin.rc as the OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME, OS_USERNAME, and OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME variables. You can also set the password for this account as the OS_PASSWORD environment variable to avoid entering this password every time you run the command.

The viocli inventory-admin command supports a variety of actions to perform different tasks. The following parameters apply to all actions.

Parameter	Mandatory or Optional	Description
-d `NAME` or --deployment `NAME`	Optional	Name of the deployment to use. If you do not enter a value, the default deployment is used.
--json --pretty	Optional	Displays output in JSON format or as formatted text. If you do not enter a value, `--pretty` is used when the command is run interactively and `--json` is used when the command is run noninteractively.
--all	Optional	Shows all objects instead of only orphaned objects.
--force	Optional	Runs the command without prompting for confirmation.
--no-grace-period	Optional	Ignores the grace period when determining whether objects are orphaned. Objects modified in the past 30 minutes are included in the results only when this parameter is set.

You can run viocli inventory-admin -h or viocli inventory-admin --help to display the parameters for the command. You can also use the -h or --help option on any action to display parameters for the action. For example, viocli inventory-admin show-instances -h will show parameters for the show-instances action.
