Change Image ID Number

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott That’s nice, but there are other areas that need re-ordering. imageGroupAssoc and hostImage

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman right but you can follow the same procedure to reorder the items on image group association.

For Host image id associations it may be a bit rougher.

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott I’ll try to come up with a more intuitive approach that isn’t relying on a mathematical scale to increment things. Of course testing will be needed.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Right because there are duplicate image IDs in the hosts table, you can’t use a count whatsoever there. I’m not liking this method at all because of imageGroupAssoc and hostImage not being taken care of in this answer.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Of course BASH could handle this easily.

@RobTitian16 said in Change Image ID Number:

@Wayne-Workman Sorry, it was a typo when I was writing it up on here. Here’s the screenshot to confirm what I’ve typed in:

The query for the hosts table probably succeeded for you in the above attempt. If you’ve not tried anything else since that, It can be undone with
UPDATE hosts SET hostImage = hostImage + 4;
But if you’ve started doing other stuff, you shouldn’t do this. Communicate with us, tell us what’s going on.

Also, I’m working on a BASH script to re-order Image IDs.

Good thing you have snapshots - you might just want to revert to the snapshot and sit tight for an hour or so.

[Wayne Workman]

@RobTitian16 @Tom-Elliott I wrote a BASH script that is working. I’ll make a github project for it soon but here it is:

#!/bin/bash

#----- MySQL Credentials -----#
snmysqluser=""
snmysqlpass=""
snmysqlhost=""
# If user and pass is blank, leave just a set of double quotes like ""
# if the db is local, set the host to just double quotes "" or "127.0.0.1" or "localhost"


#----- Begin Program -----#

selectAllImageIDs="SELECT imageID FROM images ORDER BY imageID"
selectLowestImageID="SELECT imageID FROM images ORDER BY imageID LIMIT 1"

options="-sN"
if [[ $snmysqlhost != "" ]]; then
	options="$options -h$snmysqlhost"
fi
if [[ $snmysqluser != "" ]]; then
        options="$options -u$snmysqluser"
fi
if [[ $snmysqlpass != "" ]]; then
        options="$options -p$snmysqlpass"
fi
options="$options -D fog -e"

lowestID=$(mysql $options "$selectLowestImageID")

#If the lowest image ID is greater than 1, we can renumber all images sequentially.
if [[ "$lowestID" -gt "1" ]]; then
    count=1
    mysql $options "$selectAllImageIDs" | while read imageID; do

        echo "-------------------"
        echo "Attempting to change Image ID $imageID to $count"
        mysql $options "UPDATE images SET imageID = $count WHERE imageID = $imageID"
        mysql $options "UPDATE imageGroupAssoc SET igaImageID = $count WHERE igaImageID = $imageID"
        mysql $options "UPDATE hosts SET hostImage = $count WHERE hostImage = $imageID"
        echo "Attempt completed"
        count=$((count + 1))

    done
fi

Sample output:

[root@fog-server ~]# ./renumberFogImages.sh 
-------------------
Attempting to change Image ID 2 to 1
Attempt completed
-------------------
Attempting to change Image ID 3 to 2
Attempt completed
-------------------
Attempting to change Image ID 4 to 3
Attempt completed
-------------------
Attempting to change Image ID 5 to 4
Attempt completed
[root@fog-server ~]#

@Wayne-Workman you most certainly could use a count so long as the iteration of the count matches the new item. You adjust the statement to update all items matching a particular I’d. For example if I’d is 4 and is now set to 1. You would do an update like:
update imageGroupAssoc set igaImageID=1 where igaImageID=4

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott That’s what I did in the bash script below.

[RobTitian16]

@Wayne-Workman Thanks for this, although when running the script I receive the following errors:

The blanked out part of line 23 is the password. Yet when running:

mysql -h localhost -u root -p"password" -D fog

I’m able to log-in perfectly fine.

[Wayne Workman]

@RobTitian16 Edit the script, at the top is username and password and host. Set those to what is needed. If root works, use root and “password” and set the host to “localhost”

[RobTitian16]

@Wayne-Workman Indeed, I set those as root and “password” with the host being “localhost”. It gave me those errors in the previous screenshot.

[RobTitian16]

@Wayne-Workman

[Wayne Workman]

@RobTitian16 line 17 is actually the if argument. Try to put a space between the [[ and ]] brackets and the inner line between them. Like:
if [[ $snmysqlhost != "" ]]; then

[Tom Elliott]

@RobTitian16 Looks to my like your snmysqlpass and snmysqlhost fields are using missmatching quotes.

The snmysqlpass looks to start with a single quote but end with a double quote.

THe snmysqlhost field looks like it’s much the same.

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Yup. I didn’t look close enough at it lol.

Looks like a simple typo. In the original script I posted, it’s good.

[RobTitian16]

@Wayne-Workman Thanks, although that’s actually a result of me blocking out the password. I can confirm there are double quotes on all 3 lines. I copied and pasted the code below, so it’s all the same as far as I can tell.
I can also confirm there is a space between the [[ and ]] brackets and the inner line between them, as suggested.

[Tom Elliott]

@RobTitian16, @Wayne-Workman is correct.

On all the of the “if lines” you must have a space after [[ and before ]]

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman I’d recommend updating this, the if statements are missing spaces.

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott Never mind apparently it’s removing excess spaces for some reason.
