New vRO Plugin for
EfficientIP SOLIDserver

Orchestrates the full provisioning sequence: verifies that the hostname and aliases are free on any other IP, detects ghost machines (ping), creates the A record and sets exactly the requested aliases. Can be replayed without side effects if partially executed.

Creates an A record in SOLIDserver associating a hostname (FQDN) with an IP address in the specified space (site). If the record already exists with the same name and IP, exits cleanly without error. Returns the ip_id of the created or existing record.

Resolve a subnet by its ID or by address and site, then find the first available IP within the requested range. Only return an IP if the number of free IPs on the network is greater than 'minFreeIp', ensuring an adjustable reserve.

Sets the aliases of an ip_id to exactly match the provided list. Computes the delta between the current state and the desired state, then applies additions and deletions. Replaying with the same list produces no changes.

Adds and removes aliases on an ip_id from two explicit lists. Processes additions before deletions. Handles renames (1 addition + 1 deletion) via ip_alias_update to avoid unnecessary cycles. Silently ignores already existing or missing aliases.

Retrieves all aliases associated with an ip_id from SOLIDserver. Returns an array of properties containing each alias's details (alias_name, ip_name_id, ip_id, hostaddr), or an empty array if no aliases exist.

Removes all IPs attached to a hostname or an IP, along with their aliases. If an IP or one of its aliases is provided, only that specific IP is targeted. If a hostname is provided, all IPs attached to it are deleted with their dependencies.

Releases an IP address in SOLIDserver, identified either by its IP address (requires site_id) or directly by ip_id. Throws an error if both identifiers are provided simultaneously, if neither is, or if the IP cannot be found.

Updates an existing IP record identified by its ip_id. Allows changing the hostname (a_name), the IP address, or both simultaneously. Only provided fields are updated — omitted fields remain unchanged. Throws an error if the changes conflict with an existing record.

Moves a DNS record (identified by IP or FQDN) to a new target subnet, preserving the existing hostname and aliases.

Searches for an IP record matching a hostname (FQDN) or an IP address. Automatically detects the input type. Optionally filters by site_id. Returns the properties (ip_id, ip_addr, name, site_id) or an empty array if not found. Throws an error if multiple records exist without a site filter.

Checks whether a hostname (FQDN) or an IP address is available in SOLIDserver. Automatically detects the input type and queries the IPAM accordingly. Useful as a pre-check in provisioning pipelines.

Resolves a SOLIDserver space by site_id or site_name. Returns both identifiers of the matching space. Throws an error if neither is provided, or if no matching space is found.

For each DNS record in a subnet, collects: ip_id, IP address, hostname, aliases, and ping response status. Helps detect ghost machines not referenced in the IPAM or obsolete records.
